Griffith, [1896]\n1. THESE rapid Soma-streams have stirred themselves to motion like strong steeds,\n Like cars, like armies hurried forth.\n 2 Swift as wide winds they lightly move, like rain-storms of Parjanya, like\n The flickering flames of burning fire.\n 3 These Soma juices, blent with curds, purified, skilled in sacred hymns,\n Have gained by song their hearts'desire.\n 4 Immortal, cleansed, these drops, since first they flowed, have never wearied, fain\n To reach the regions and their paths.\n 5 Advancing they have travelled o\u2019er the ridges of the earth and heaven,\n And this the highest realm of all.\n 6 Over the heights have they attained the highest thread that is spun out,\n And this which must be deemed most high.\n 7 Thou, Soma, boldest wealth in kine which thou hast seized from niggard churls:\n Thou calledst forth the outspun thread.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XXII.
