Rig Veda 9.21

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

To Indra flow these running drops, these Somas frolicsome in mood. Exhilarating, finding light;

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Driving off foes, bestowing room upon the presser, willingly Bringing their praiser vital force.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Lightly disporting them, the drops flow to one common reservoir, And fall into the river's wave.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

These Pavamanas have obtained all blessings much to be desired, Like coursers harnessed to a car.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

With view to us, O Soma-drops, bestow his manifold desire On him who yet hath given us naught.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Bring us our wish with this design, as a wright brings his new-wrought wheel: Flow pure and shining with the stream.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

These drops have cried with resonant voice: like swift steeds they have run the course, And roused the good man's hymn to life.
