Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XXXVIII. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 This Steer, this Chariot, rushes through the woollen filter, as he goes
To war that wins a thousand spoils.
2 The Dames with the stones onward impel this Tawny One,
In the Mighty One's name.
3 Ten active fingers carefully adorn him here; they make him bright
And beauteous for the gladdening draught.
4 He like a falcon settles down amid the families of men.
5 This young exhilarating juice looks downward from its place in heaven,
This Soma-drop that pierced the sieve.
6 Poured for the draught, this tawny juice flows forth, intelligent, crying out,
Unto the well-beloved place.
