Griffith, [1896]\n1. FORTH through the straining-cloth the Sage flows to the banquet of the Gods,\n Subduing all our enemies.\n 2 For he, as Pavamana, sends thousandfold treasure in the shape\n Of cattle to the singing-men.\n 3 Thou graspest all things with thy mind, and purifiest thee with thoughts\n As such, O Soma, find us fame.\n 4 Pour lofty glory on us, send sure riches to our liberal lords,\n Bring food to those who sing thy praise.\n 5 As thou art cleansed, O Wondrous Steed, O Soma, thou hast entered, like\n A pious King, into the songs.\n 6 He, Soma, like a courser in the floods invincible, made clean\n With hands, is resting in the jars.\n 7 Disporting, like a liberal chief, thou goest, Soma, to the sieve,\n Lending the laud a Hero's strength.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XX Soma Pavamana.","type":"page"}
