Griffith, [1896]\n1. WITH stones have we pressed out: O come; these gladdening drops are blent with milk, these Soma-drops which gladden you.\n Come to us, Kings who reach to heaven, approach us, coming hitherward.\n These milky drops are yours, Mitra and Varu\u1e47a, bright Soma juices blent with milk.\n 2 Here are the droppings; come ye nigh the Soma-droppings blent with curd, juices expressed and blent with curd.\n Now for the wakening of your Dawn together with the Sun-God's rays,\n juice waits for Mitra and for Varu\u1e47a to drink, fair juice for drink, for sacrifice.\n 3 As \u2019twere a radiant-coloured cow, they milk with stones the stalk for you, with stones they milk the Soma-plant.\n May ye come nigh us, may ye turn hither to drink the Soma juice.\n The men pressed out this juice, Mitra and Varu\u1e47a, pressed out this Soma for your drink.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CXXXVII.
