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

1. LIKE able coursers they have been sent forth to be the feast of Gods, joying in mountains, flowing on. 2 To Vāyu flow the Soma-streams, the drops of juice made beautiful Like a bride dowered by her sire. 3 Pressed in the mortar, these, the drops of juice, the Somas rich in food, Give strength to Indra with their work. 4 Deft-handed men, run hither, seize the brilliant juices blent with meal, And cook with milk the gladdening draught. 5 Thus, Soma, Conqueror of wealth! flow, finding furtherance for us, Giver oF ample opulence. 6 This Pavamana, meet to be adorned, the fingers ten adorn, The draught that shall make Indra glad.
