asṛgrandevavītaye'tyāsaḥ kṛtvyā iva | kṣarantaḥ parvatāvṛdhaḥ ||

LIKE able coursers they have been sent forth to be the feast of Gods, joying in mountains, flowing on.

परिष्कृतास इन्दवो योषेव पित्र्यावती। वायुं सोमा असृक्षत॥

pariṣkṛtāsa indavo yoṣeva pitryāvatī | vāyuṁ somā asṛkṣata ||

To Vayu flow the Soma-streams, the drops of juice made beautiful Like a bride dowered by her sire.

ete somāsa indavaḥ prayasvantaścamū sutāḥ | indraṁ vardhanti karmabhiḥ ||

Pressed in the mortar, these, the drops of juice, the Somas rich in food, Give strength to Indra with their work.

ā dhāvatā suhastyaḥ śukrā gṛbhṇīta manthinā | gobhiḥ śrīṇīta matsaram ||

Deft-handed men, run hither, seize the brilliant juices blent with meal, And cook with milk the gladdening draught.

स पवस्व धनंजय प्रयन्ता राधसो महः। अस्मभ्यं सोम गातुवित्॥

sa pavasva dhanaṁjaya prayantā rādhaso mahaḥ | asmabhyaṁ soma gātuvit ||

Thus, Soma, Conqueror of wealth! flow, finding furtherance for us, Giver oF ample opulence.

एतं मृजन्ति मर्ज्यं पवमानं दश क्षिपः। इन्द्राय मत्सरं मदम्॥

etaṁ mṛjanti marjyaṁ pavamānaṁ daśa kṣipaḥ | indrāya matsaraṁ madam ||

This Pavamana, meet to be adorned, the fingers ten adorn, The draught that shall make Indra glad.
