RIGVEDA - BOOK 9-HYMN CII Soma Pavamana.
1. THE Child, when blended with the streams, speeding the plan of sacrifice, Surpasses all things that are dear, yea, from of old. 2 The place, near the two pressing-stones of Trita, hath he occupied, Secret and dear through seven lights of sacrifice. 3 Urge to three courses, on the heights of Trita, riches in a stream. He who is passing wise measures his courses out. 4 Even at his birth the Mothers Seven taught him, for glory, like a sage, So that he, firm and sure, hath set his mind on wealth. 5 Under his sway, of one accord, are all the guileless Deities: Warriors to be envied, they, when they are pleased. 6 The Babe whom they who strengthen Law have generated fair to see, Much longed for at the sacrifice, most liberal Sage,— 7 To him, united, of themselves, come the young Parents of the rite, When they adorn him, duly weaving sacrifice. 8 With wisdom and with radiant eyes unbar to us the stall of heaven, Speeding at solemn rite the plan of Holy Law.
