kratvā dakṣasya rathyam apo vasānam andhasā goṣām aṇveṣu saścima
With strength we follow through the sieve him who brings might and wins the kine, Enrobed in water with his juice.
anaptam apsu duṣṭaraṃ somam pavitra ā sṛja punīhīndrāya pātave
Pour on the sieve the Soma, ne'er subdued in waters, waterless, And make it pure for Indra's drink.
pra punānasya cetasā somaḥ pavitre arṣati kratvā sadhastham āsadat
Moved by the purifier's thought, the Soma flows into the sieve: By wisdom it hath gained its home.
pra tvā namobhir indava indra somā asṛkṣata mahe bharāya kāriṇaḥ
With humble homage, Indra, have the Soma-drops flowed forth to thee, Contending for the glorious prize.
punāno rūpe avyaye viśvā arṣann abhi śriyaḥ śūro na goṣu tiṣṭhati
Purified in his fleecy garb, attaining every beauty, he Stands, hero-like, amid the kine.
divo na sānu pipyuṣī dhārā sutasya vedhasaḥ vṛthā pavitre arṣati
Swelling, as 'twere, to heights of heaven, the stream of the creative juice Falls lightly on the cleansing sieve.
tvaṃ soma vipaścitaṃ tanā punāna āyuṣu avyo vāraṃ vi dhāvasi
Thus, Soma, purifying him who knoweth song mid living men, Thou wanderest through the cloth of wool.
