Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XXI. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 For the Mighty One's sake flow these running drops, these Somas frolicsome in mood,
Exhilarating, finding light;
2 Driving off foes, bestowing room upon the presser, willingly
Bringing their praiser vital force.
3 Lightly disporting them, the drops flow to one common reservoir,
And fall into the river's wave.
4 These Purifiers have obtained all blessings much to be desired,
Like coursers harnessed to a car.
5 With view to us, O Soma-drops, bestow his manifold desire
On him who yet hath given us naught.
6 Bring us our wish with this design, as a wright brings his new-wrought wheel:
Flow pure and shining with the stream.
7 These drops have cried with resonant voice: like swift steeds they have run the course,
And roused the good man's hymn to life.
