Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN XXXIX. The Provision of God (Soma Pavamana)
1 Flow on, O thou of lofty thought, flow swift in thy beloved form,
Saying, I go to the righteous.
2 Preparing what is unprepared, and bringing store of food to man,
Make Thou the rain descend from heaven.
3 With might, bestowing power, the juice enters the purifying sieve,
Far-seeing, sending forth its light.
4 This is it which in rapid course hath with the river's wave flowed down
From heaven upon the straining cloth.
5 Inviting him from far away, and even from near at hand, the juice
In the Mighty One's name is poured forth as meath.
6 In union they have sung the hymn: with stones they urge the Tawny One.
Sit in the place of worship.
