1

Soma, the Cow, poured out for drinking, flows into the purifying sieve, Slashing the demons, loved by the gods.

2

Far-seeing, golden-brown, it flows into the sieve, wise, Roaring, to its resting place.

3

This vigorous Pavamana rushes to the bright realm of heaven, Slayer of foes, through the fleece sieve.

4

This Pavamana, up above Trita’s high peak, made the Sun, With the sisters, shine together.

5

This Vṛtra-slaying Cow, poured out, Soma-giver, never cheated, Went, as if, to claim the spoils.

6

Driven forward by the sage, the god advances to the wooden casks, Indu to Indra willingly.
