Griffith, [1896]\n1. To Indra have the Soma drops, exceeding rich in sweets, been poured,\n Shed in the seat of sacrifice.\n 2 As mother kine low to their calves, to Indra have the sages called,\n Called him to drink the Soma juice.\n 3 In the stream's wave wise Soma dwells, distilling rapture, in his seat,\n Resting upon a wiId-cow's hide.\n 4 Far-sighted Soma, Sage and Seer, is worshipped in the central point\n Of heaven, the straining-cloth of wool.\n 5 In close embraces Indu holds Soma when\n poured within the jars.\n And on the. purifying sieve.\n 6 Indu sends forth a voice on high to regions of the sea of air,\n Shaking the vase that drops with meath.\n 7 The Tree whose praises never fail yields heavenly milk among our hymns,\n Urging men's generations on.\n 8 The Wise One, with the Sage's stream, the Soma urged to speed, flows on\n To the dear places of the sky.\n 9 O Pavamana, bring us wealth bright with a thousand splendours. Yea.\n O Indu, give us ready help.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XII. Soma Pavamana.","type":"page"}
