RIGVEDA - BOOK 9-HYMN XLI. Soma Pavamana.
1. ACTIVE and bright have they come forth, impetuous in speed like bulls, Driving the black skin far away. 2 Quelling the riteless Dasyu, may we think upon the bridge of bliss, Leaving the bridge of woe behind. 3 The mighty Pavamana's roar is heard as ’twere the rush of rain Lightnings are flashing to the sky. 4 Pour out on us abundant food, when thou art pressed, O Indu wealth In kine and gold and steeds and spoil. 5 Flow on thy way, Most Active, thou. fill full the mighty heavens and earth, As Dawn, as Sūrya with his beams. 6 On every side, O Soma, flow round us with thy protecting stream, As Rasā flows around the world.
