Sukta 24

प्र सोमासो अधन्विषुः पवमानास इन्दवः। श्रीणाना अप्सु मृञ्जत॥

pra somāso adhanviṣuḥ pavamānāsa indavaḥ | śrīṇānā apsu mṛñjata ||

HITHERWARD have the Soma streamed, the drops while they are purified: When bIent, in waters they are rinsed.

अभि गावो अधन्विषुरापो न प्रवता यतीः। पुनाना इन्द्रमाशत॥

abhi gāvo adhanviṣurāpo na pravatā yatīḥ | punānā indramāśata ||

The milk hath run to meet them like floods rushing down a precipice: They come to Indra, being cleansed.

Victorious, to be hailed with joy, O Soma, flow, delighting men, To him who ruleth o'er mankind.

इन्दो यदद्रिभिः सुतः पवित्रं परिधावसि। अरमिन्द्रस्य धाम्ने॥

indo yadadribhiḥ sutaḥ pavitraṁ paridhāvasi | aramindrasya dhāmne ||

Thou, Indu, when, effused by stones, thou runnest to the filter, art, Ready for Indra's high decree.

पवस्व वृत्रहन्तमोक्थेभिरनुमाद्यः। शुचिः पावको अद्भुतः॥

pavasva vṛtrahantamokthebhiranumādyaḥ | śuciḥ pāvako adbhutaḥ ||

Flow on, best Vrtra-slayer; flow meet to be hailed with joyful lauds. Pure, purifying, wonderful.

शुचिः पावक उच्यते सोमः सुतस्य मध्वः। देवावीरघशंसहा॥

śuciḥ pāvaka ucyate somaḥ sutasya madhvaḥ | devāvīraghaśaṁsahā ||
