Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XXVII. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 This Sage, exalted by our lauds, flows to the purifying cloth,
Scattering foes as he is cleansed.
2 As giving power and winning light, for the Mighty One's sake he
Is poured upon the filtering-cloth.
3 The men conduct him, Steer, Omniscient, and the Head of Heaven,
Effused into the vats of wood.
4 Longing for kine, longing for gold hath the Purifier lowed,
Still Conqueror, never overcome.
5 This Purifier, gladdening draught, drops on the filtering cloth, and then
Mounts up with the Sun to the sky.
6 To the Mighty One in the firmament this mighty tawny Steer hath flowed,
This sap, being purified.
