9,10 Soma Pavamana

9.X Soma Pavamana

prá svānā́so ráthā iva árvanto ná śravasyávaḥ |
sómāso rāyé akramuḥ ||

1 LIKE cars that thunder on their way, like coursers eager for renown, Have Soma-drops flowed forth for wealth.

hinvānā́so ráthā iva dadhanviré gábhastiyoḥ |
bhárāsaḥ kāríṇām iva ||

2 Forth have they rushed from holding hands, like chariots that are urged to speed, Like joyful songs of singing-men.

rā́jāno ná práśastibhiḥ sómāso góbhir añjate |
yajñó ná saptá dhātŕ̥bhiḥ ||

3 The Somas deck themselves with milk, as Kings are graced with eulogies, And, with seven priests, the sacrifice.

pári svānā́sa° índavo mádāya barháṇā girā́ |
sutā́ arṣanti dhā́rayā ||

4 Pressed for the gladdening draught, the drops flow forth abundantly with song, The Soma juices in a stream.

āpānā́so vivásvato jánanta uṣáso bhágam |
sū́rā áṇvaṃ ví tanvate ||

5 Winning Vivasvān's glory and producing Morning's light, the Suns Pass through the openings of the cloth.

ápa dvā́rā matīnã́m pratnā́ r̥ṇvanti kārávaḥ |
vŕ̥ṣṇo hárasa āyávaḥ ||

6 The singing-men of ancient time open the doors of sacred songs, —Men, for the mighty to accept.

samīcīnā́sa āsate hótāraḥ saptájāmayaḥ |
padám ékasya píprataḥ ||

7 Combined in close society sit the seven priests, the brother-hood, Filling the station of the One.

nā́bhā nā́bhiṃ na ā́ dade cákṣuś cit sū́riye sácā |
kavér ápatyam ā́ duhe ||

8 He gives us kinship with the Gods, and with the Sun unites our eye: The Sage's ofrspring hath appeared.

abhí priyā́ divás padám adhvaryúbhir gúhā hitám |
sū́raḥ paśyati cákṣasā ||

9 The Sun with his dear eye beholds that quarter of the heavens which priests Have placed within the sacred cell.
