8.LXVIII Soma

ayáṃ kr̥tnúr ágr̥bhīto viśvajíd udbhíd ít sómaḥ |
ŕ̥ṣir vípraḥ kā́viyena ||

1 THIS here is Soma, ne’er restrained, active, all-conquering bursting forth, Ṛṣi and Sage by sapience,

abhí ūrṇoti yán nagnám bhiṣákti víśvaṃ yát turám |
prém andháḥ khyan níḥ śroṇó bhūt ||

2 All that is bare he covers o’er, all that is sick he medicines; The blind man sees, the cripple walks.

tuváṃ soma tanūkŕ̥dbhyo dvéṣobhyo anyákr̥tebhyaḥ |
urú yantā́si várūtham ||

3 Thou, Soma, givest wide defence against the hate of alien men, Hatreds that waste and weaken us.

tuváṃ cittī́ táva dákṣair divá ā́ pr̥thivyā́ rjīṣin |
yā́vīr aghásya cid dvéṣaḥ ||

4 Thou by thine insight and thy skill, Impetuous One, from heaven and earth Drivest the sinner's enmity.

arthíno yánti céd árthaṃ gáchān íd dadúṣo rātím |
vavr̥jyús tŕ̥ṣyataḥ kā́mam ||

5 When to their task they come with zeal, may they obtain the Giver's grace, And satisfy his wish who thirsts.

vidád yát pūrviyáṃ naṣṭám úd īm r̥tāyúm īrayat |
prém ā́yus tārīd átīrṇam ||

6 So may he find what erst was lost, so may be speed the pious man, And lengthen his remaining life.

suśévo no mr̥̄ḷayā́kur+ ádr̥ptakratur avātáḥ |
bhávā naḥ soma śáṃ hr̥dé ||

7 Gracious, displaying tender love, unconquered, gentle in thy thoughts, Be sweet, O Soma, to our heart.

mā́ naḥ soma sáṃ vīvijo mā́ ví bībhiṣathā rājan |
mā́ no hā́rdi tviṣā́ vadhīḥ ||

8 O Soma, terrify us not; strike us not with alarm, O King: Wound not our heart with dazzling flame.

áva yát suvé sadhásthe devā́nāṃ durmatī́r ī́kṣe |
rā́jann ápa dvíṣaḥ sedha mī́ḍhvo ápa srídhaḥ sedha ||

9 When in my dwelling-place I see the wicked enemies of Gods, King, chase their hatred far away, thou Bounteous One, dispel our foes.
