O SOMA, being purified bring us the wondrous treasure, meet\n For lauds, that is in earth and heaven.\n 2 For ye Twain, Indra, Soma, are Lords of the light, Lords of the kine:\n Great Rulers, prosper ye our songs.\n 3 The tawny Steer, while cleansed among the living, bellowing on the grass,\n Hath sunk and settled in his home.\n 4 Over the Steer's productive flow the sacred songs were resonant,\n The mothers of the darling Son.\n 5 Hath he not, purified, impregned the kine whb long to meet their Lord,\n The kine who yield the shining milk?\n 6 Bring near us those who stand aloof strike fear into our enemies:\n O Pavamana, find us wealth.\n 7 Soma, bring down the foeman's might, his vigorous strength and vital powe'r,\n Whether he be afar or near.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XIX.
