ā́ pavasva sahasríṇaṃ rayíṃ soma suvī́riyam |
asmé śrávāṃsi dhāraya ||

1 POUR hitherward, O Soma, wealth in thousands and heroic strength, And keep renown secure for us.

íṣam ū́rjaṃ ca pinvasa índrāya matsaríntamaḥ |
camū́ṣu ā́ ní ṣīdasi ||

2 Thou makest food and vigour swell for Indra, best of gladdeners! Within the cups thou seatest thee.

sutá índrāya víṣṇave sómaḥ kaláśe akṣarat |
mádhumām̐ astu vāyáve ||

3 For Indra and for Viṣṇu poured, Soma hath flowed into the jar: May Vāyu find it rich in sweets.

eté asr̥gram āśávo áti hvárāṃsi babhrávaḥ |
sómā r̥tásya dhā́rayā ||

4 These Somas swift and brown of hue, in stream of solemn sacrifice Have flowed through twisted obstacles,

índraṃ várdhanto aptúraḥ kr̥ṇvánto víśvam ā́riyam |
apaghnánto árāvaṇaḥ ||

5 Performing every noble work, active, augmenting Indra's strength, Driving away the godless ones.

sutā́ ánu svám ā́ rájo abhí arṣanti babhrávaḥ |
índraṃ gáchanta índavaḥ ||

6 Brown Soma-drops, effused that seek Indra, to their appropriate place Flow through the region hitherward.

ayā́ pavasva dhā́rayā yáyā sū́ryam árocayaḥ |
hinvānó mā́nuṣīr apáḥ ||

7 Flow onward with that stream of thine wherewith thou gavest Sūrya light, Urging on waters good to men.

áyukta sū́ra étaśam pávamāno manā́v ádhi |
antárikṣeṇa yā́tave ||

8 He, Pavamana, high o’er man yoked the Sun's courser Etaśa To travel through the realm of air.

utá tyā́ haríto dáśa sū́ro ayukta yā́tave |
índur índra íti bruván ||

9 And those ten Coursers, tawny-hued, he harnessed that the Sun might come Indu, he said, is Indra's self.

párītó vāyáve sutáṃ gíra índrāya matsarám |
ávyo vā́reṣu siñcata ||

10 Hence, singers, pour the gladdeningjuice to Vāyu and to Indra, pour The drops upon the fleecy cloth.

pávamāna vidā́ rayím asmábhyaṃ soma duṣṭáram |
yó dūṇā́śo vanuṣyatā́ ||

11 O Soma Pavamana, find wealth for us not to be assailed, Wealth which the foeman may not win.

abhí arṣa sahasríṇaṃ rayíṃ gómantam aśvínam |
abhí vā́jam utá śrávaḥ ||

12 Send riches hither with thy stream in thousands, both of steeds and kine, Send spoil of war and high renown.

sómo devó ná sū́riyo ádribhiḥ pavate sutáḥ |
dádhānaḥ kaláśe rásam ||

13 Soma the God, expressed with stones, like Sūrya, floweth on his way, Pouring the juice within the jar.

vā́jaṃ gómantam akṣaran ||

14 These brilliant drops have poured for us, in stream of solemn sacrifice, Worshipful laws and strength in kine.

sutā́ índrāya vajríṇe sómāso dádhiāśiraḥ |
pavítram áti akṣaran ||

15 Over the cleansing sieve have flowed the Somas, blent with curdled milk, Effused for Indra Thunder-armed.

prá soma mádhumattamo rāyé arṣa pavítra ā́ |
mádo yó devavī́tamaḥ ||

16 Soma, do thou most rich in sweets, a gladdening drink most dear to Gods, Flow to the sieve to bring us wealth.

tám ī mr̥janti āyávo háriṃ nadī́ṣu vājínam |
índum índrāya matsarám ||

17 For Indra, living men adorn the Tawny Courser in the streams, Indu, the giver of delight.

ā́ pavasva híraṇyavad áśvāvat soma vīrávat |
vā́jaṃ gómantam ā́ bhara ||

18 Pour for us, Soma, wealth in gold, in horses and heroic sons, Bring hither strength in herds of kine.

pári vā́je ná vājayúm ávyo vā́reṣu siñcata |
índrāya mádhumattamam ||

19 For Indra pour ye on the fleece him very sweet to taste, who longs. For battle as it were in war.

kavím mr̥janti márjiyaṃ dhībhír víprā avasyávaḥ |
vŕ̥ṣā kánikrad arṣati ||

20 The singers, seeking help, adorn the Sage who must be decked with songs: Loud bellowing the Steer comes on,

vŕ̥ṣaṇaṃ dhībhír aptúraṃ sómam r̥tásya dhā́rayā |
matī́ víprāḥ sám asvaran ||

21 The singers with their thoughts and hymns have, in the stream of sacrifice, Caused Soma, active Steer, to roar.

pávasva deva āyuṣág índraṃ gachatu te mádaḥ |
vāyúm ā́ roha dhármaṇā ||

22 God, working with mankind, flow on; to Indra go thy gladdening juice: To Vāyu mount as Law commands

pávamāna ní tośase rayíṃ soma śravā́yiyam |
priyáḥ samudrám ā́ viśa ||
