1

The Soma stream flows, seen by all, by eternal law, calling the gods from heaven. It lights with Brhaspati’s roar, no lake can hold its juice.

2

You, mighty Soma, to whom the cows low, rise bright in iron home, for Indra’s joyous drink.

3

Bestower of delight, you flow to Indra’s throat, clothed in might, auspicious one, for fame. You spread across, meeting all that is, the swift Tawny Horse, flowing on his way.

4

Men, ten swift-fingered ones, draw you for gods, rich in mead, with thousand streams. You, Soma, glad Indra, and the Heavenly Host, flow like Pavamana, like a river’s wave.

5

Skilled men with stones, ten swift-fingered ones, drain you into waters, you, the Steed filled with sweetness. You, Soma, glad Indra, and the Heavenly Host, flow like Pavamana, like a river’s wave.
