RIGVEDA - BOOK 9-HYMN XXIV Soma Pavamana.
1. HITHERWARD have the Soma streamed, the drops while they are purified: When bIent, in waters they are rinsed. 2 The milk hath run to meet them like floods rushing down a precipice: They come to Indra, being cleansed. 3 O Soma Pavamana, thou art flowing to be Indra's drink: The men have seized and lead thee forth. 4 Victorious, to be hailed with joy, O Soma, flow, delighting men, To him who ruleth o’er mankind. 5 Thou, Indu, when, effused by stones, thou runnest to the filter, art, Ready for Indra's high decree. 6 Flow on, best Vṛtra-slayer; flow meet to be hailed with joyful lauds. Pure, purifying, wonderful. 7 Pure, purifying is he called the Soma of the meath eflused, Slayer of sinners, dear to Gods.
