Rig Veda 9.106

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

To Indra, to the Mighty Steer, may these gold-coloured juices go, Drops rapidly produced, that find the light of heaven.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Effused, this juice victorious flows for Indra, for his maintenance. Soma bethinks him of the Conqueror, as he knows.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May Indra in his raptures gain from him the grasp that gathers spoil, And, winning waters, wield the steer strong thunderbolt.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Flow vigilant for Indra, thou Soma, yea, Indu, run thou on: Bring hither splendid strength that finds the light of heaven.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Do thou, all-beautiful, purify for Indra's sake the mighty juice, Path-maker thou, far seeing, with a thousand ways.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Best finder of prosperity for us, most rich in sweets for Gods, Proceed thou loudly roaring on a thousand paths.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Indu, with thy streams, in might, flow for the banquet of the Gods: Rich in meath, Soma, in our beaker take thy place.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thy drops that swim in water have exalted Indra to delight: The Gods have drunk thee up for immortality.

9
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Stream opulence to us, ye drops of Soma, pressed and purified, Pouring down rain from heaven in hoods, and finding light.

10
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Soma, while filtered, with his wave flows through the long wool of the sheep, Shouting while purified before the voice of song.

11
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

With songs they send the Mighty forth, sporting in wood, above the fleece: Our psalms have glorified him of the triple height.

12
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Into the jars hath he been loosed, like an impetuous steed for war, And lifting up his voice, while filtered, glided on.

13
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Gold-hued and lovely in his course, through tangles of the wool he flows, And pours heroic fame upon the worshippers.

14
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Flow thus, a faithful votary: the streams of meath have been effused. Thou comest to the filter, singing, from each side.
