Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XXXIV. Some Pavamana

1. THE drop of Soma juice effused flows onward with this stream impelled. Rending strong places with its might. 2 Poured forth to Indra, Varuṇa, to Vāyu and the Marut hosts, To Viṣṇu, flows the Soma juice. 3 With stones they press the Soma forth, the Strong conducted by the strong: They milk the liquor out with skill. 4 ’Tis he whom Trita must refine, ’tis he who shall make Indra glad: The Tawny One is decked with tints. 5 Him do the Sons of Pṛśni milk, the dwelling-place of sacrifice, Oblation lovely and most dear. 6 To him in one unitcd stream th-,se songs flow on straight forward. he, Loud voiced, hath made the milch-kine low.
