Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XXV. Soma Pavamana

1. GREEN-HUED! as one who giveth strength flow on for Gods to drink, a draught For Vāyu and the Marut host. 2 O Pavamana, sent by song, roaring about thy dwelling-place, Pass into Vāyu as Law bids. 3 The Steer shines with the Deities, dear Sage in his appointed home, Foe-Slayer, most beloved by Gods. 4 Taking each beauteous form, he goes, desirable, while purified, Thither where- the Immortals sit. 5 To Indra Soma flows, the Red, engendering song, exceeding wise, The visitor of living men. 6 Flow, best exhilarator, Sage, flow to the filter in a stream To seat thee in the place of song.
