Griffith, [1896]\n1. FORTH on their way the glorious drops have flowed for maintenance of Law,\n Knowing this sacrifice's course.\n 2 Down in the mighty waters sinks the stream of meath, most excellent,\n Oblation best of all in worth.\n 3 About the holy place, the Steer true, guileless, noblest, hath sent forth\n Continuous voices in the wood.\n 4 When, clothed in manly strength, the Sage flows in celestial wisdom round,\n The Strong would win the light of heaven.\n 5 When purified, he sits as King above the hosts, among his folk,\n What time the sages bring him nigh.\n 6 Dear, golden-coloured, in the fleece he sinks and settles in the wood:\n The Singer shows his zeal in hymns.\n 7 He goes to Indra, V\u0101yu, to the A\u015bvins, as his custom is,\n With gladdening juice which gives them joy.\n 8 Tle streams of pleasant Soma flow to Bhaga, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a,\u2014\n Well-knowing through his mighty powers.\n Heaven and Earth, riches of meath to win us wealth:\n Gain for us treasures and renown.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN VII.
