Griffith, [1896]\n1. THE Guileless Ones are singing praise to Indra's well beloved Friend,\n As, in the morning of its life, the mothers lick the new-born calf.\n 2 O Indu, while they cleanse thee bring, O Soma, doubly-waxing wealth\n Thou in the worshipper's abode causest all treasures to increase.\n 3 Set free the. song which mind hath yoked, even as thunder frees the rain:\n All treasures of the earth and heaven, O Soma, thou dost multiply.\n 4 Thy stream when thou art pressed runs on like some victorious warrior's steed\n Hastening onward through the fleece like a fierce horse who wins the prize.\n 5 Flow on, Sage Soma, with thy stream to give us mental power and strength,\n Effused for Indra, for his drink, for Mitra and for Varu\u1e47a.\n 6 Flow to the filter with thy stream, effused, best winner, thou, of spoil,\n O Soma, as most rich in sweets for Indra, Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, and the Gods.\n 7 The mothers, void of guiles, caress thee Golden-coloured, in the sieve,\n As cows, O Pavamana, lick the new-born calf, as Law commands.\n 8 Thou, Pavamana, movest on with wondrous rays to great renown.\n Striving within the votary's house thou drivest all the glooms away.\n 9 Lord of great sway, thou liftest thee above the heavens, above the earth.\n Thou, Pavamana hast assumed thy coat of mail in majesty.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN C.
