Forth from the mortar is the juice sent, like a car-horse, to the sieve: The Steed steps forward to the goal.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thus, Soma, watchful, bearing well, cheering the Gods, flow past the sieve, Turned to the vat that drops with meath.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Excellent Pavamana, make the lights shine brightly out for us. Speed us to mental power and skill.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

He, beautified by pious men, and coming from their hands adorned, Flows through the fleecy straining-cloth.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May Soma pour all treasures of the heavens, the earth, the firmament Upon the liberal worshipper.

6

Thou mountest to the height of heaven, O Soma, seeking steeds and kine, And seeking heroes, Lord of Strength!
