O Soma flowing on thy way, win thou and conquer high renown;\n And make us better than we are.\n 2 Win thou the light, win heavenly light, and, Soma, all felicities;\n And make us better than we are.\n 3 Win skilful strength and mental power. O Soma, drive away our foes;\n And make us better than we are.\n 4 Ye purifiers, purify Soma for Indra, for his drink:\n Make thou us better than we are.\n 5 Give us our portion in the Sun through thine own mental power and aids;\n And make us better than we are.\n 6 Through thine own mental power and aid long may we look upon the Sun;\n Make thou us better than we are.\n 7 Well-weaponed Soma, pour to usa stream of riches doubly great;\n And make us better than we are.\n 8 As one victorious unsubdued in battle pour forth wealth to us;\n And make us better than we are.\n 9 By worship, Pavamana! men have strengthened thee to prop the Law:\n Make thou us better than we are.\n 10 O Indu, bring us wealth in steeds, manifold. quickening all life;\n And mate us better than we are.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN IV.
