Griffith, [1896]\n1. ACTIVE and bright have they come forth, impetuous in speed like bulls,\n Driving the black skin far away.\n 2 Quelling the riteless Dasyu, may we think upon the bridge of bliss,\n Leaving the bridge of woe behind.\n 3 The mighty Pavamana's roar is heard as \u2019twere the rush of rain\n Lightnings are flashing to the sky.\n 4 Pour out on us abundant food, when thou art pressed, O Indu wealth\n In kine and gold and steeds and spoil.\n 5 Flow on thy way, Most Active, thou. fill full the mighty heavens and earth,\n As Dawn, as S\u016brya with his beams.\n 6 On every side, O Soma, flow round us with thy protecting stream,\n As Ras\u0101 flows around the world.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XLI.
