Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XXVIII. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 Urged by the men, this vigorous Steed, Lord of the mind, Omniscient,
Runs to the woollen straining-cloth.
2 Within the filter hath he flowed, this Soma for the righteous effused,
Entering all their essences.
3 He shines in beauty there, in his dwelling-place,
Foe-slayer, dearest to the righteous.
4 Directed by the Sisters ten, bellowing on his way this Steer
Runs onward to the wooden vats.
5 O Purifier, swift and strong, Omniscient, Thou gavest splendour to
The Sun and all his forms of light.
6 This Soma being purified, flows mighty and infallible,
Slayer of sinners, dear to the righteous.
