1

Passed through, the Soma flows in thousand streams, purified, to Indra’s special place.

2

Sing forth, you men who seek help, to Pavamana, to the Sage, Pour it out to entertain the Gods.

3

Thousand-power drops of Soma are purified for victory, Hymned to become the Gods’ feast.

4

Bring us abundant food, Indu, to win the spoil, With splendid manly might.

5

May they give us wealth in thousands and heroic power— These Godlike Soma drops, effused.

6

Like horses urged by their drivers, they are poured forth for victory, Swiftly through the woollen straining-cloth.

7

Noisily flow the Soma drops, like milch-kine to their calves: They run forth from both the hands.

8

As the Gladdener loved by Indra, O Pavamana, with a roar Drive all our enemies away.

9

O Pavamamas, driving off the godless, looking on the light, Sit in the place of sacrifice.
