Rig Veda

Book 9, Hymn LI. Soma Pavamana

1. ADHVARYU, on the filter pour the Soma juice expressed with stones,
And make it pure for Indra's drink.

2 Pour out for Indra, Thunder-armed, the milk of heaven,, the Soma's juice,
Most excellent, most rich in sweets.

3 These Gods and all the Marut host, Indu enjoy this juice of thine,
This Pavamana's flowing meath.

4 For, Soma, thou hast been effused, strengthening for the wild carouse,
O Steer, the singer, for our help.

5 Flow with thy stream, Far-sighted One, effused, into the cleansing sieve:
Flow on to give us strength and fame.
