1

This Sage, praised by our hymns, flows to the purifying cloth, Sweeping away enemies as he is cleansed.

2

Giving power and bringing light, for Indra and for Vāyu he Is poured onto the filtering cloth.

3

Men carry him, Soma, Guide, All-Knowing One, and Heir to the Heavens, Spilling into the wooden vats.

4

Indu Pavamana longs for cows and gold, still Conqueror, never vanquished.

5

This Pavamana, sweet draught, falls on the filtering cloth, then Rises with Sūrya to the sky.

6

This mighty tawny Steer has flowed to Indra in the heavens, Purified, Indu, now victorious.
