Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 FOR thee this Soma is effused, O Indra: drink of this juice; for thee the stream is flowing- Soma, which thou thyself hast made and chosen, even Indu, for thy special drink to cheer thee.

sá īṃ rátho ná bhuriṣā́ḷ ayoji maháḥ purū́ṇi sātáye vásūni |
ā́d īṃ víśvā nahuṣíyāṇi jātā́ súvarṣātā vána ūrdhvā́ navanta ||

2 Like a capacious car hath it been harnessed, the Mighty; to acquire abundant treasures. Then in the sacrifice they celebrated all triumphs won by Nahus -n the battle.

vāyúr ná yó niyútvām̐ iṣṭáyāmā nā́satyeva háva ā́ śámbhaviṣṭhaḥ |
viśvávāro draviṇodā́ iva tmán pūṣā́ iva dhījávano 'si soma ||

3 Like Vāyu with his team, moving at pleasure, most gracious when invoked like both Nāsatyas, Thou art thyself like the Wealth-Giver, Soma! who grants all boons, like song-inspiring Pūṣan.

índro ná yó mahā́ kármāṇi cákrir hantā́ vr̥trā́ṇām asi soma pūrbhít |
paidvó ná hí tvám áhināmnāṃ hantā́ víśvasya asi soma dásyoḥ ||

4 Like Indra who hath done great deeds, thou, Soma, art slayer of the Vṛtras, Fort-destroyer. Like Pedu's horse who killed the brood of serpents, thus thou, O Soma, slayest every Dasyu.

agnír ná yó vána ā́ sr̥jyámāno vŕ̥thā pā́jāṃsi kr̥ṇute nadī́ṣu |
jáno ná yúdhvā mahatá upabdír íyarti sómaḥ pávamāna ūrmím ||

5 Like Agni loosed amid the forest, fiercely he winneth splendour in the running waters. Like one who fights, the roaring of the mighty, thus Soma Pavamana sends his current.

eté sómā áti vā́rāṇi ávyā diviyā́ ná kóśāso abhrávarṣāḥ |
vŕ̥thā samudráṃ síndhavo ná nī́cīḥ sutā́so abhí kaláśām̐ asr̥gran ||

6 These Somas passing through the fleecy filter, like rain descending from the clouds of heaven, Have been effused and poured into the beakers, swiftly like rivers running lowly seaward.

śuṣmī́ śárdho ná mā́rutam pavasva ánabhiśastā diviyā́ yáthā víṭ |
ā́po ná makṣū́ sumatír bhavā naḥ sahásrāpsāḥ pr̥tanāṣā́ṇ ná yajñáḥ ||

7 Flow onward like the potent band of Maruts, like that Celestial Host whom none revileth. Quickly be gracious unto us like waters, like sacrifice victorious, thousand-fashioned.

rā́jño nú te váruṇasya vratā́ni br̥hád gabhīráṃ táva soma dhā́ma |
śúciṣ ṭuvám asi priyó ná mitró dakṣā́yiyo aryamévāsi soma ||

8 Thine are King Varuṇa's eternal statutes, lofty and deep, O Soma, is thy glory. All-pure art thou like Mitra the beloved, adorable, like Aryaman, O Soma.
