Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · Hymn CIII. In Praise of God the Purifier
1 To the Purifier, who is cleansed as ordering priest, the song is raised: bring meed, as 'twere, to one who makes thee glad with hymns.
2 Blended with milk and curds he flows on through the long wool of the sheep.
The Gold-hued, purified, makes him three seats for rest.
3 On through the long wool of the sheep to the sweetness-dropping vat he flows:
The sevenfold choir of the seers hath sung aloud to him.
4 Shared by all the righteous, infallible, the Leader of our holy hymns,
Golden-hued, being cleansed, he hath reached the bowls.
5 After thy lofty qualities, go, as a priest purified by priests.
6 Like a car-horse who shows his strength, a gift for the righteous,
The penetrating Purifier flows along.
