RIGVEDA - BOOK 9-HYMN XLII. Soma Pavamana.
1. ENGENDERING the Sun in floods, engendering heaven's lights, green-hued, Robed in the waters and the milk, 2 According to primeval plan this Soma, with his stream, effused Flows purely on, a God for Gods. 3 For him victorious, waxen great, the juices with a thousand powers Are purified for winning spoil. 4 Shedding the ancient fluid he is poured into the cleansing sieve: He, thundering, hath produced the Gods. 5 Soma, while purifying, sends hither all things to be desired, He sends the Gods who strengthen Law. 6 Soma, effused, pour on us wealth in kine, in heroes, steeds, and spoil, Send us abundant store of food.
