Griffith, [1896]\n1. GREAT as he was, Soma hath gained strength by this high solemnity:\n joyous he riseth like a bull.\n 2 His task is done: his crushings of the Dasyus are made manifest:\n He sternly reckoneth their debts.\n 3 Soon as his song of praise is born, the Soma, Indra's juice, becomes\n A thousand-winning thunderbolt.\n 4 Seer and Sustainer, he himself desireth riches for the sage\n When he embellisheth his songs.\n 5 Fain would they both win riches as in races of the steeds. In war\n Thou art upon the conquerors' side.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XLVII. Soma Pavamana.","type":"page"}
