Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XI. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 Sing forth, O men, as the sap is purified,
Fain to pay worship to God.
2 Together with thy pleasant juice the Atharvans have commingled milk,
Devoted to God.
3 Bring, O Lord, by Thy flowing, weal to kine, weal to the people, weal to steeds.
Weal, O King, to growing plants.
4 Sing a praise-song to God, of independent might,
Who reaches up to heaven; His gift is this brown-hued, red sap.
5 Purify the Soma when effused with stones which hands move rapidly,
And pour the sweet milk in the meath.
6 With humble homage draw ye nigh; blend the libation with the curds:
In the name of the Mighty One offer it up.
7 O Lord, queller of foes, chief o'er men, doing Thy will,
Pour forth prosperity upon our kine.
8 Knower of hearts, Sovereign of the heart, this gift is poured in Thy name.
9 O Purifier, give us riches and heroic strength,-
With the Mighty One for ally.
