ENGENDERING the Sun in floods, engendering heaven's lights, green-hued,\n Robed in the waters and the milk,\n 2 According to primeval plan this Soma, with his stream, effused\n Flows purely on, a God for Gods.\n 3 For him victorious, waxen great, the juices with a thousand powers\n Are purified for winning spoil.\n 4 Shedding the ancient fluid he is poured into the cleansing sieve:\n He, thundering, hath produced the Gods.\n 5 Soma, while purifying, sends hither all things to be desired,\n He sends the Gods who strengthen Law.\n 6 Soma, effused, pour on us wealth in kine, in heroes, steeds, and spoil,\n Send us abundant store of food.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XLII.
