Griffith, [1896]\n1. SOMA, the Steer, effused for draught, flows to the purifying sieve,\n Slaying the fiends, loving the Gods.\n 2 Far-sighted, tawny-coloured, he flows to the sieve, intelligent,\n Bellowing, to his place of rest.\n 3 This vigorous Pavamana runs forth to the luminous realm of heaven,\n Fiend-slayer, through the fleecy sieve.\n 4 This Payamana up above Trita's high ridge hath made the Sun,\n Together with the Sisters, shine.\n 5 This V\u1e5btra-slaying Steer, effused, Soma room-giver, ne\u2019er deceived,\n Hath gone, as \u2019twere, to win the spoil.\n 6 Urged onward by the sage, the God speeds forward to the casks of wood,\n Indu to Indra willingly.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XXXVII.
