Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XIII. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 Passed through the fleece in thousand streams the Soma, purified, flows on,
A gift for the Mighty One and the Lord of the winds.
2 Sing forth, ye men who long for help, to God, the Purifier and Sage,
To whose service it is poured.
3 The Soma-drops with thousand powers are purified for victory,
Hymned in praise of God.
4 Yea, as thou flowest bring great store of food that we may win the spoil.
O Lord, bring splendid manly might.
5 May they in flowing give us wealth in thousands, and heroic power,-
These precious Soma-drops effused.
6 Like coursers by their drivers urged, they were poured forth, for victory,
Swift through the woollen straining-cloth.
7 Noisily flow the Soma-drops, like milch-kine lowing to their calves:
They have run forth from both the hands.
8 O Purifier, with a roar
Drive all our enemies away.
9 O ye drops, driving off the godless, looking on the light,
Sit in the place of worship.
