9.69.1 Like an arrow laid upon the bow is thought set forth; like a calf it hastens to its mother's udder;she milks at first approach like a broad-flowing stream; Soma is sent forth under his ordinances.

9.69.2 Thought comes near and joins; honey is poured; delight awakens in the mouth;the streaming purifier, like a line of warriors, flows as a honeyed drop through the wool.

9.69.3 Desiring a bride, he flows over the sheep's fleece, loosening Aditi's granddaughters as he seeks Truth;the golden one's sacred rapture has cried aloud; the buffalo, sharpening his strength, shines forth.

9.69.4 The bull bellows and the cows respond, goddesses approach the god's prepared abode;Soma passes through the white sheep's fleece and wraps himself in a washed garment.

9.69.5 The immortal golden one clothes himself in an unstained gleaming garment as he is cleansed;he makes heaven's back his covering, the vats his cloudlike spread.

9.69.6 Like the sun's rays, rushing and intoxicating, the streams rise together from sleep;they flow around the outstretched thread, yet no station flows without Indra.

9.69.7 Swift as a river running downhill, the bull's cascading raptures have found a path;bring peace to our home, to two-footed and four-footed life; let prizes and peoples stay with us, Soma.

9.69.8 Flow to us with wealth and gold, with horses, cattle, grain and heroic sons;for you, Soma, are my fathers, heaven's summits, setting forth and making strength.

9.69.9 These flowing Somas journey to Indra as chariots rush toward victory;pressed, the golden ones pass through the sheep's filter, shedding their covering and seeking the rain.

9.69.10 Flow for mighty Indra, drop, merciful, faultless, devourer of enemies;bring radiant treasures to the singer; Heaven and Earth, aid us with the gods.

Hymn 9.70 — Seer: Renu Vaishvamitra. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 10, Trishtubh.

9.70.1 Three times seven cows milked him the true mixture in the primeval sky;he made four other beautiful worlds his attire when he grew by Truth.

9.70.2 Seeking immortality's sweetness, with his poetry he opened both heavens wide;he wrapped himself in the mightiest waters, when they knew the god's seat by his fame.

9.70.3 Let his signs be undying and unassailable through both his births;through them he purifies himself in human and divine strength, and thought takes hold of the king.

9.70.4 Cleansed by ten skillful hands, he measured forth among the mothers;drinking lovely immortality's ordinances, he sees both peoples with human-seeing eyes.

9.70.5 Cleansed and set forth for power and nourishment, he delights in both ends of Heaven and Earth;the bull drives away wicked thoughts by strength, pointing like an archer against obstacles.

9.70.6 Like a bright calf seeking his two mothers, he cries out with a sound like the Maruts';knowing the first Truth, the wise one chose the sunlit world for praise.

9.70.7 Terrible, the bull bellows with his might, sharpening both tawny horns in insight;Soma sits in the well-made resting place, and a cowhide becomes his cloak.

9.70.8 Pure and cleansing his spotless body, the golden one rushed over the sheep's back;welcomed by Mitra, Varuna and Vayu, the threefold honey is fashioned by skilled hands.

9.70.9 Flow for the gods' feast, bull Soma; enter Indra's heart, your dwelling;carry us past evil before it strikes, knowing the paths and answering those who ask directions.

9.70.10 Like a harnessed horse flow toward the prize; flow into Indra's belly, O drop;like a boat carry us across the river, wise one; like a warrior fighting, save us from scorn.

Hymn 9.71 — Seer: Rishabha Vaishvamitra. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 9, Trishtubh.

9.71.1 Released southward, he reaches the seat of strength; awake, he wards away deceit and demons;the golden one draws heaven's shimmering veil as his garment upon the vats, cleansing the sacred utterance.

9.71.2 Roaring like a host of men he comes in strength, laying aside his dark, lordly color;he sheds his covering and reaches his father's dwelling, making a new garment for himself.

9.71.3 Pressed by stones, he flows between hands, becoming a bull; the sky trembles with inspired thought;he rejoices, unites and acts through song, washes in waters, and is worshiped all around.

9.71.4 Around the shining, mountain-grown child of strength they pour the honey of the high house;there well-offered cows mix their foremost milk within his udder.

9.71.5 The ten sisters have polished him like a chariot of two shafts in Aditi's lap;he bellows and approaches the secret station of the cow, which his mothers brought forth.

9.71.6 Like a hawk the god seeks his golden nest, a resting place fashioned by thought;on the ritual grass they send forth the dear one with song; like a horse he approaches the gods for sacrifice.

9.71.7 The tawny seer, manifest beyond heaven, the bull of three backs, has found the cows;leading thousands, traveling afar, he shines like a singer across many dawns.

9.71.8 His color becomes a dazzling form; where he rests, Truth drives deceits away;with his own law he goes among divine people, joining fine praise and the foremost cows.

9.71.9 Like a bull circling the herd he bellows, bearing the radiances of the sun;a heavenly bird looking down on earth, Soma surveys the generations with his wisdom.

Hymn 9.72 — Seer: Harimanta Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.72.1 They cleanse the golden one as the ruddy is yoked; Soma is anointed with cows' milk in the vessel;he raises speech and sets thought moving: how many are the beloved circles of the much-praised one?

9.72.2 Many wise men speak together when they milk Soma into Indra's belly;the skillful men cleanse the desirable honey with their ten fingers dwelling together.

9.72.3 Untiring, he goes beyond the cows and the beloved sound of the Sun's daughter;the bird brought him delight, and he dwells with his two sister kin.

9.72.4 Shaken by men and pressed with stones, dear on the grass, ancient lord of cows, a timely drop;rich in insight, accomplishing men's sacrifice, Soma flows pure for you, Indra, by thought.

9.72.5 Pressed and driven by men's arms, Soma flows in his stream for you, Indra, by his own law;you filled ritual wisdom and inspired thoughts; the golden one settled like a bird in wooden vats.

9.72.6 The wise and inspired workers milk the unfailing, thundering stalk;cows and thoughts gather in the womb of Truth, the dwelling of the ever-new.

9.72.7 At earth's navel, heaven's mighty support, lifted amid waves of rivers,Indra's mace, the all-rich bull, Soma flows sweet and exhilarating to his heart.

9.72.8 Flow through earth's whole expanse, generous wise one, giving to the singer who shakes you;do not let us lose our share of riches; may we win abundant golden wealth.

9.72.9 Give us a hundred gifts of horses, O drop, a thousand gifts of cattle and gold;bring great, rich nourishment and come to us, flowing one, upon the singer's song.

Hymn 9.73 — Seer: Pavitra Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.73.1 They sang at the mouth of the sounding drop; the kindred gathered at Truth's womb;he made three heads of the lord to grasp, and the boats of truth carried good deeds across.

9.73.2 In ordered ranks the bulls bellowed; upon the river's wave the seekers trembled;with honeyed streams they gave birth to song, increasing Indra's beloved body.

9.73.3 Those who have the filter sit around the word; their ancient father guards their ordinance;Varuna enclosed the great sea, and the wise sought a foothold among supports.

9.73.4 With honeyed tongues they sang unceasing on heaven's summit over the thousand-streamed filter;his swift watchers never blink; step by step the snare-bearers set their bridges.

9.73.5 Those who sang above father and mother, burning with verse and consuming the lawless,blow away through their cunning the black skin of those who hate Indra from heaven's expanse.

9.73.6 Those who sang from the ancient measure, bearers of hymns, thoughts of the impetuous one:the blind and deaf laughed; evil-doers cannot cross the path of Truth.

9.73.7 Across the outstretched thousand-streamed filter the wise purify their speech;their Rudras, swift and guileless watchers, see clearly and see men.

9.73.8 Guardian of Truth, undeceivable and wise, he placed three filters within his heart;knowing, he sees all worlds and hurls the unwelcomed lawless into the pit.

9.73.9 The thread of Truth is stretched across the filter, at the tongue's tip by Varuna's art;even the wise can only reach toward it; the powerless falls into the pit.

Hymn 9.74 — Seer: Kakshivan Dairghatamasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 8, Trishtubh.

9.74.1 Like a newborn child he cries out in the wood, a ruddy racer seeking the sunlit prize;he joins heaven's seed and swells with milk: we seek from him good thought and shelter far and wide.

9.74.2 He is heaven's pillar, its support spread wide; the full stalk circles everywhere;he has encompassed both great worlds, held them together, and gathered their food, the seer.

9.74.3 Great is his stream, well-fashioned Soma honey, Aditi's wide cow-pasture seeking Truth;he rules the rain, the shining bull, leader of waters, our aid and worthy of song.

9.74.4 Rich in life, the cloud is milked for butter and milk; Truth's navel is born immortal;generous men together please him, and the restless pour their offerings upon his resting place.

9.74.5 The stalk cried out, joined with the wave, making the divine fleece swell for man;he sets a child in Aditi's lap, by which we gain children and descendants.

9.74.6 May those unceasing streams in the thousand-streamed filter bear offspring in the third realm;four navels set beneath heaven bear immortal oblation dripping with butter.

9.74.7 He makes a white form as he seeks the prize; generous, mighty Soma knows the worlds;joining thought and work, he opened the mountain's vessel of heaven.

9.74.8 Then the victorious racer stepped into the white vessel anointed with milk;the god-seeking drove him with thought toward Kakshivan for a hundred winters of cattle.

9.74.9 Your juice mixed with waters, Soma, flows through the woolen fleece;cleansed by poets, most exhilarating purifier, become sweet for Indra to drink.

Hymn 9.75 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.75.3 Shining, he has cried into the vats, guided by men into the golden vessel;the milkers of immortality sing to him; on the threefold height he shines at dawn.

9.75.4 Pressed by stones and laid down for delight by thoughts, he lights his two mother worlds, pure;he flows through the sheep's hair, his honeyed streams swelling day by day.

9.75.5 Flow all around, Soma, for well-being; cleansed by men, clothe yourself in the mixture;with your unbridled, soaring raptures spur Indra to give his gifts.

Hymn 9.76 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.76.1 The maker's juice flows, support of heaven, skill of gods, praised with joy by men;released, the golden one like a horse among warriors freely gathers strength in the rivers.

9.76.2 Like a warrior he takes weapons in hand, a charioteer seeking the sun in cattle quests;stirring Indra's force, the drop urged by workers is anointed by the wise.

9.76.3 Flowing Soma, mighty in your wave, enter Indra's bellies;swell our two worlds like a lightning-cloud, and by thought measure enduring prizes for us.

9.76.4 King of all, he flows to see the sun, inspiring the seer's thought of Truth;washed by the sun's rays, he is father of thoughts, master of every poetic work.

9.77.2 He flows, the ancient one the hawk, impelled, brought from heaven across the expanse;he unites with honey, trembling in fear of the archer Krishanu's mind.

9.77.3 May these drops, ancient and later, run for our great cattle-rich prize;lovely as serpents, fit to behold, they have loved each sacred word and oblation.

9.77.4 May this knowing drop overcome our adversaries, much praised with constant mind;he placed the seed in the mighty one's seat and flows toward the cows' wide-open pen.

9.77.5 The maker's juice flows, fashioner of heaven; great, undeceived Varuna is borne away;Mitra is pressed among peoples for the rite, crying like a stallion among herds.

Hymn 9.78 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.78.1 Giving birth to speech, the king streams forth, clad in water and reaching toward the cattle;he seizes dirt from the sheep's body and goes purified to the gods' appointed place.

9.79.3 The foe is a foe even among one's own, a wolf even among strangers;like thirst in the desert, these evil thoughts have gathered: strike them, purifying Soma.

9.79.4 The highest summit of heaven received your navel; your shoots grew upon earth's peak;the stones eat you on the cow's hide; the wise milk you in waters with their hands.

Hymn 9.83 — Seer: Pavitra Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.86.5 Signs of you, all-seeing maker, surround every dwelling of the universe;Soma, you flow through your laws, reach everywhere and rule as lord of every world.

9.86.6 The rays and signs of the eternal purifier spread on either side;as the golden one is cleaned upon the filter, he settles in the vessels at his fixed seats.

9.86.7 The rite's beacon flows, skilled in sacrifice; Soma reaches the gods' appointed place;in a thousand streams he flows around the vessel, a bull roaring across the filter.

9.86.8 The king enters the sea of rivers, joins the wave of waters, abiding among streams;the purifier mounted the sheep's height at earth's navel, support of mighty heaven.

9.86.9 Thunderous as heaven's peak he roared, he whose laws embrace earth and heaven;seeking Indra's friendship he flows, purified Soma settling in the vessels.

9.86.10 The light of sacrifice flows, beloved honey, father of gods, all-rich begetter;he sets secret treasure between the two self-ruling ones, most exhilarating, powerful juice.

9.86.12 The purifier flows at the head of rivers, at the head of speech, foremost among cows;he claims the great treasure at the head of the prize, a well-armed bull cleansed by pressers.

9.86.13 This mindful bird, set upon wool, streamed in his purifying wave;by your design between the worlds, poet, Soma flows pure for you, Indra, through thought.

9.86.14 Clad in a heaven-touching sacred robe, filling midair, stationed in the worlds,he stepped across the sky, finding sunlight; he desires his ancient father.

9.86.15 He gives broad shelter to the people who have attained his first dwelling;from his station in highest heaven he moves toward all beings, brought together.

9.86.28 These offspring of heavenly seed are yours; you rule every world;all this world is in your power, purifier; you are the first establisher of dwellings, drop.

9.86.29 You are the sea, all-knowing seer; these five directions belong to your ordinance;you have encompassed heaven and earth; purifier, the sun and the lights are yours.

9.86.30 Within the filter of midair's ordinance you are purified for the gods, Soma;the first seekers took hold of you, and every world is bridled for you.

9.86.31 The singer crosses the sheep's fleece, the golden bull crying in the woods;eager thoughts sing together, licking the crying child.

9.86.33 King of rivers, lord of heaven, he flows crying along the paths of Truth;the golden one is poured in a thousand streams, purifying, giving birth to speech, bearing wealth.

9.86.34 Purifier, you flow across the mighty flood, brilliant as the sun over fleeces;purified by hands, pressed by men with stones, you race to a great and wealthy prize.

9.86.35 You flow toward food and strength, purifier, settling like a hawk in wooden vats;pressed, an intoxicating draught for Indra, discerning support nearest heaven.

9.86.36 The seven sisters, mothers, surround the newly born child, victorious and wise,the heavenly Gandharva of the waters, seeing men: Soma, you rule every world.

9.86.37 Ruler, you span these worlds, O drop, yoking bright-winged tawny steeds;let them pour for you honeyed milk and butter; let peoples stand within your ordinance, Soma.

9.86.38 You see men everywhere, Soma, purifying bull, and flow through all these realms;flow with gold and treasures for us, that we may live in the worlds.

9.86.39 Flow, finder of cows, riches, gold, giver of seed, stationed among worlds;you are rich in heroes and know all, Soma; to you the poets come with song.

9.86.40 The wave of honey rose above the forests; clad in waters, the buffalo plunged through;the king mounted the filter-chariot toward the prize, and with a thousand points wins great renown.

9.86.41 He raises life-giving songs of praise, sustaining all, bearing all through every day;drop, when drunk, ask Indra for sacred utterance, offspring, wealth and a home with horses for us.

9.86.42 The desirable golden rapture, first among days, gives insight with insight through the light;he travels between two peoples, the human and the divine, bearing their praise.

9.86.43 They anoint, adorn and unite him; they lick his wisdom, anoint him with honey;those with golden sieves grasp the soaring bull above the river's swelling breath.

9.86.44 Sing to the discerning purifier; like a great stream the drink flows;like a snake he slips through old skin, like a playing horse the golden bull ran on.

9.86.45 The king first among cows is praised, measuring days, stationed in worlds;his golden ocean flows, dripping butter, fair to see, his chariot made of light, home of riches.

9.86.46 The raised pillar of heaven has been released in rapture; threefold he circles the worlds;thoughts lick the crying stalk when the singers with song have come to cleanse him.

9.86.47 Your fleet, gathered streams, as you flow pure, cross the finest fleece;when the cows' milk anoints you in the vats, drop, pressed Soma, you settle in vessels.

9.86.48 Flow, Soma, knower of rites, worthy of hymns; run through the fleece as beloved honey;strike all devouring demons, drop, that with brave sons we may speak nobly in the assembly.

Hymn 9.87 — Seer: Ushanas Kavya. Deity: Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

9.87.1 Run on, settle in the vessel; cleansed by men, flow toward the prize;they groom you like a racing horse, leading you to the grass with reins.

9.87.2 The godly drop flows with his own weapons, destroyer of ill speech, guarding the people;father and skilled begetter of gods, pillar of heaven and support of earth.

9.87.3 Inspired seer, leader of peoples, wise craftsman alongside Ushanas Kavya,he knew the hidden secret name of those cows.

9.87.4 This honeyed Soma of yours, Indra, bull for the bull, has streamed through the filter;winning thousands and hundreds, bountiful, the racer has mounted the everlasting grass.

9.87.5 These Somas flow through filters toward thousands of cattle, great prizes, undying fame;like racing horses eager for glory as they enter the battle.

9.87.6 Purified, much-invoked among peoples, he circles every provision;bring us delights, hawk-borne one; strengthening riches, flow toward the prize.

9.87.7 Pressed, this Soma ran through the filter like a released racing horse;sharpening his keen horns like a buffalo, a hero seeking cows as a champion.

9.87.8 She journeyed from the farthest rock and found cattle hidden in the vastness;like heavenly lightning thundering through clouds, your Soma stream flows, Indra.

9.87.9 Cleansed, Soma, you circle the mass of cows, riding the same chariot as Indra;grant ample, sustaining food of old, master of power, when they praise you.

Hymn 9.88 — Seer: Ushanas Kanva. Deity: Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

9.88.1 This Soma, Indra, is pressed for you, flows for you; drink of him;you made him and chose him, the drop Soma, as your fellow in rapture.

9.88.3 Like Vayu with his team, prompt to come; like the Ashvins, gracious to our call;like a giver of every wealth, like Pushan spurring thought, you are Soma.

9.88.4 Like Indra doing mighty deeds, you destroy Vritras, Soma, and shatter forts;like Paidva you slay the serpent-named; you destroy every Dasyu, Soma.

9.88.5 Like Agni released in the woods, he freely gathers strength in rivers;like a warrior host with a mighty roar, purifying Soma raises his wave.

9.88.6 These Somas pass through sheep's fleeces like heavenly vessels pouring rain;freely, like rivers flowing downhill to sea, the pressed ones enter the vats.

9.88.7 Flow mighty as a Marut host, heaven's community secure from slander;be swift as waters, kind to us, a thousand-powered conqueror like the rite.

9.88.8 Your ordinances are those of King Varuna; your home, Soma, is vast and deep;pure as beloved Mitra, worthy of trust like Aryaman, Soma.

9.89.1 The carrier travels on his paths, flowing like rain from heaven;let Soma of a thousand streams settle among us in the mother's lap, in wood.

9.89.2 The king of rivers put on his robe, mounted the swiftest boat of Truth;the drop grew in the waters, sped by the hawk; his father milks him, and his father's kin.

9.89.3 They reach for the lion, swift honey, golden and ruddy, lord of this heaven;first warrior in battles he seeks the cows; the bull guards all around with his eyes.

9.89.4 They yoke the honey-backed, fierce swift horse to the broad-wheeled lofty chariot;his sisters and kin cleanse him; his kindred strengthen the racer.

9.89.5 Four milkers of butter join him, seated together in the same place of support;they flow to him reverently as he is purified; those ancient ones surround him on all sides.

9.89.6 He is heaven's pillar and earth's support; all peoples are in his hand;the source with its team has settled for the singer; the honeyed shoot flows for Indra's power.

9.89.7 Conquering undefeated, flow for the divine feast, Vritra-slaying Soma, for Indra;be capable of great radiant wealth, that we may be lords of heroic power.

9.90.1 Impelled, the begetter of the two worlds moved like a chariot to gain a prize;going to Indra, sharpening weapons, gathering every treasure in his hands.

9.90.3 With an army of champions, all heroes, mighty, flow victorious, winning riches;with keen weapons and swift bow in battles, overcome your foes in combat.

9.90.4 Making broad pastures and places without fear, flow among our harmonized insights;seeking waters, dawns and sunlight, cry out great prizes for us.

9.90.5 You gladden Varuna, Soma, you gladden Mitra, you gladden Indra and Vishnu;you gladden the Marut host, the gods, and great Indra with rapture, O drop.

9.91.1 The eloquent one was sent like a chariot into battle, first thinker stirred by thought;ten sisters on the fleece's height anoint the carrier toward his dwellings.

9.91.2 The drop, pressed with the songs of heavenly people and of human beings,immortal among mortal men, is cleansed with sheep's wool, milk, and waters.

9.91.3 Roaring, the bull's stalk flows for the bull, bright with the cow's milk;versed in a thousand hymns, sunlike, he travels the narrow path on sure-footed ways.

9.91.4 Break even the demons' firm dwellings; cleansing drop, unfold the prizes;cut off with a crushing weapon those near and far who come against us.

9.91.5 As in ancient times, all-desired one, make forward paths for a new good song;may we win those mighty, hard-to-overcome foes, many-working, rich in cattle.

9.92.3 Wise, finding the road and joined to all gods, Soma purifies and enters his abiding place;he delights in every poet's art; the wise one wanders among the five peoples.

9.92.4 In your secret place, flowing Soma, are all the gods, three times eleven;ten fingers cleanse you on the fleece's height, and seven mighty rivers.

9.92.5 Let this be the flowing one's truth, where all the singers come together:he made light and space for day and helped Manu against the Dasyu.

9.92.6 Like a priest circling his home, like a true king entering assemblies,purifying Soma came to the vessels, sitting like a buffalo in the woods.

Hymn 9.93 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

9.93.2 Calling like a child among mothers, the bull was mixed abundantly with waters;like a man toward a woman he goes to the appointed place, uniting with milk in the vessel.

9.93.3 The wise drop has swelled from the udder of the unharmed cow, joined by streams;the cows mix milk into his head in vessels, like treasures poured over him.

9.93.4 With the gods, purifying drop, open for us horse-rich wealth, crying aloud;let the desired insight come like a charioteer, turning toward us to give riches.

9.93.5 Bring us wealth rich in men, purified, wind-swift and radiant in all ways;prolong the singer's life, drop, and come to us early, swift and rich in thought.

9.94.3 When the poet carries poetic visions through all worlds like a hero his chariot,he adorns gods with glory and a mortal with wealth, newly rich in skill and many gifts.

9.94.4 Born for splendor, he went forth to splendor and grants singers splendor and vitality;clothed in splendor they reach immortality and become true in combat by the measured wood.

9.94.5 Flow toward food and strength, horses and cows; make wide light and gladden gods;for all are easy for you to conquer, Soma flowing pure, and you drive away foes.

Hymn 9.95 — Seer: Praskanva Kanva. Deity: Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

9.95.1 The golden one cries out as he is released, seated and cleansed in the wood's belly;guided by men he takes milk as his garment; from him thoughts were born by their own law.

9.95.2 Released, the golden one sends speech upon immortality's path like a pilot his boat;the god reveals the gods' secret names upon the ritual grass for proclamation.

9.95.3 Like hastening waves of waters, thoughts stream forth toward Soma;they approach him reverently, joining him, and the desirous enter the desired one.

9.95.4 They milk the cleansing stalk, the mountain-born bull, as upon a summit;longing thoughts join him, and Trita bears Varuna in the sea.

9.95.5 Sending speech like a priest's herald, purifying drop, unfold inspired thought;when you and Indra dwell together for good fortune, may we be lords of heroic power.

Hymn 9.96 — Seer: Pratardana Daivodasi. Deity: Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

9.96.1 Like a heroic leader ahead of chariots he comes seeking cattle, and his army exults;making fair gifts for friends who call on Indra, Soma dons his mighty garments.

9.96.2 His golden companions cleanse the golden one with unwearied horse-guiding songs;Indra's friend mounts the chariot, knowing the way to kindness.

9.96.3 Flow, god, for our meeting with gods, great Soma of streaming waters, drunk by Indra;forming waters and raining upon this heaven, cleansing, open wide room for us.

9.96.4 Flow toward unconquered life, unharmed life, well-being and great wholeness;all these friends desire it, and I desire it, Soma flowing pure.

9.96.5 Soma flows, begetter of thoughts, begetter of heaven and earth,begetter of Agni, of Surya, begetter of Indra and Vishnu too.

9.96.6 Sacred utterance of gods, pathfinder of poets, seer among inspired, buffalo among beasts,hawk among birds of prey, axe among forests, Soma roars across the filter.

9.96.7 Flowing Soma has raised a wave of words like a river, hymns and inspired thoughts;seeing into these nearer communities, the bull stands knowing among cows.

9.96.8 Exhilarating, undefeated in battles, winning, thousand-seeded, flow to the prize;for Indra, thoughtful flowing drop, send forth the stalk's wave, desiring cattle.

9.96.9 Beloved and divinely given, Soma circles the vessel for Indra's joyful rapture;with a thousand streams and a hundred prizes the drop runs like a horse into battle.

9.96.10 The ancient one, born finder of riches, cleansed in waters and milked upon stone,protector against slander, king of the world, found a path for prayer as he was purified.

9.96.11 Through you, Soma, our wise ancient fathers did their deeds, O purifier;unconquered, unfold the boundaries; be bountiful with heroes and horses for us.

9.96.12 As you flowed for Manu, granting life, killing foes, finding open space and bearing offerings,so flow bearing treasures, settle in Indra, and give birth to weapons.

9.96.13 Flow honey-sweet, Soma, true to Truth, clothed in waters upon the fleece's height;settle in butter-filled vats, most exhilarating rapture drunk by Indra.

9.96.14 Flow rain from heaven in a hundred streams, winning thousands, eager for prizes in the gods' feast;calling together with rivers in the vessel and with milk cows, prolong our lives.

9.96.15 This Soma, purified by thoughts, like a racing horse crosses hostilities;like milk from Aditi, full of life, wide as a path, he carries us well guided.

9.96.16 Armed with your own weapon and purified by pressers, flow toward the lovely secret name;like a horse toward the prize, toward fame, toward Vayu, toward cows, divine Soma.

9.96.17 They cleanse the new-born desired child; the Maruts adorn the carrier in their host;a seer with songs and poetic skill, Soma roars across the filter.

9.96.18 With a seer's mind, maker of seers, finder of sunlight, leading thousands, pathfinder of poets,the buffalo seeks the third dwelling, and Soma rules the Viraj and the song.

9.96.19 The hawk seated in the vessel, a far-reaching bird, drop of the cows, bearing weapons,joins the waters' wave and the sea; the buffalo proclaims the fourth dwelling.

9.96.20 Like a fair young man cleansing his body, like a horse running to win riches,like a bull circling the herd he flows round the vessel and enters the vats roaring.

9.96.21 Flow pure in greatness, drop, roaring through the fleeces;playing, enter the vats to be cleansed; may your exhilarating juice enrapture Indra.

9.96.22 His great streams flowed forth; clad in milk, he entered the vessels;a wise singer making song among singers, he comes crying like a friend toward kin.

9.96.23 You go destroying enemies, purifier, a drop sung to like a lover to his beloved;settling in wood like a bird alighting, cleansed Soma rests in the vessels.

9.96.24 Your gleams, flowing Soma, come like women, generous milkers in fair streams;the golden one brought in waters, rich in gifts, cried out in the gods' servants' vessel.

Deity: Soma.

9.97.1 Purified by his impulse in the golden strainer, the god mingled his juice with gods;pressed, he circles the filter roaring, like a priest around his home and cattle.

9.97.2 Wearing bright garments of one mind, the mighty poet speaks secret words;speak aloud in the vats while purifying, discerning and wakeful for the gods' feast.

9.97.3 The beloved one is cleansed upon the fleece's height, more renowned than fame, our dwelling;sing and race as you are purified; may you all protect us always with blessings.

9.97.4 Sing out and praise the gods; urge Soma on to great wealth;sweet, he flows across the sheep's fleece and settles in the vessel, seeking gods for us.

9.97.5 The drop comes into the gods' friendship, flowing in a thousand streams for rapture;praised by men, he reaches his ancient home and Indra for great fortune.

9.97.6 Flow cleansed toward the singer's wealth, golden one; let your rapture reach Indra for aid;ride with the gods toward bounty; may you all protect us always with blessings.

9.97.7 Speaking poetry like Ushanas, the god reveals the births of gods;mighty in ordinance, kin to the pure, cleansing, he strides roaring like a boar.

9.97.8 Swans flew toward Tripala and Manyu, and the Vrishagana host went home;friends proclaim together the purifying one, worthy of praise, an irresistible arrow.

9.97.9 He hastens by the far-praised one's impulse; cows measure the freely playing one;sharp-horned, he swells his fullness, golden by day and bright by night.

9.97.10 The drop flows as a racer, with cow-filled streams; Soma spurs strength in Indra for rapture;he kills demons and wards away enemies, making room, king of the people.

9.97.11 Then mixed with honey in his stream, milked by stones, he flows through the hair;the drop delights in Indra's friendship, a god intoxicating a god for rapture.

9.97.12 Purifying, he flows toward beloved things, a god mingling gods with his own juice;clad in ordinances in season, the drop was wrapped by ten fingers upon the fleece's height.

9.97.13 A red bull roars to the cows, making earth and heaven resound;his cry is heard like Indra's in battle, flowing forth and awakening this speech.

9.97.14 Rich in juice, swelling with milk, you move the honeyed stalk;purifying Soma, poured for Indra, you move like an unbroken line.

9.97.15 Flow intoxicating for delight, lowering the lofty with your weapons;bearing your gleaming color around, Soma, stream toward us, seeking cattle, poured all around.

9.97.16 With favor and easy paths, drop, flow making broad, pleasant room;breaking evils in every direction like a mace, race over the fleece's height.

9.97.17 Flow us heavenly rain that travels far, rich in nourishment, healing, swiftly given;race searching, like woven strands, for these lower kin of yours, O drop, the winds.

9.97.18 Unravel what is knotted like a knot, purifier; open both straight and crooked paths, Soma;crying like a horse as you are released, divine young lord, run homeward.

9.97.19 Welcomed for rapture among gods, drop, run across the fleece's height;in a thousand streams, sweet-smelling, unassailable, flow around in the man-winning contest.

9.97.20 Without reins, chariots, or harness, like racers released into battle,these shining Somas run; gods, come to drink them.

9.97.21 So, drop, flow toward the gods' feast, like a flood of cloud in the vats;may Soma grant us desired, great and mighty wealth rich in heroes.

9.97.22 When the seeking mind's voice fashioned him upon the eldest law, at the face of the strainer,then the yearning cows came to their chosen husband in the vessel, the drop.

9.97.23 Divine giver of waters, sweller of waters, wise, he flows Truth to Truth;he shall be king of the people by ordinance; with ten beams the earth was borne forth.

9.97.24 Through filters the purifier sees men, king of gods and mortals;twice lord of treasures, the drop bears lovely, well-supported Truth.

9.97.25 Like a horse seeking fame and victory, flow to Indra and Vayu's feast;give us a thousand mighty provisions, Soma, and purifying, find us treasure.

9.97.26 Let these god-loving Somas poured around us stream toward a home of brave sons;worshipful, generous, most gladdening, like priests who offer to heaven.

9.97.27 So, god, flow for the gods' gathering, great Soma of streams, drunk by gods;though set amid mighty struggle, cleanse and set both worlds in a good place.

9.97.28 Cry like a horse yoked with bulls, terrible as a lion, swifter than thought;by the nearest, straightest paths, flow to us joy of mind, drop.

9.97.29 A hundred god-born streams flowed forth; poets cleanse a thousand of them;flow from heaven, drop, winning treasure; you go before great riches.

9.97.30 Like the floods of heaven the days poured forth; like a king the wise one does not betray a friend;like a son following his father by wisdom, flow for this people's unconquered strength.

9.97.31 Your honeyed streams flowed forth, passing pure through sheep's fleeces;purifier, you flow into the cows' home, and at birth swelled the sun with songs.

9.97.32 Roaring upon the path of Truth, bright, you illuminate immortality's dwelling;for Indra you flow full of rapture, stirred by poets' thoughts to speech.

9.97.33 Heavenly bird, look down, Soma, swelling streams by your work in the gods' feast;enter the vessel, O drop, Soma's abode; go crying toward the sun's ray.

9.97.34 The carrier sends forth three voices: Truth's thought and the sacred word's vision;cows go seeking the lord of cows; thoughts go seeking Soma with cries.

9.97.35 Cows and milk cows cry for Soma; poets seek Soma through their thoughts;pressed Soma is purified and anointed, and hymns and Trishtubh verses resound together in Soma.

9.97.36 So, Soma, poured around us, flow to us, purified, with well-being;enter Indra with a mighty cry, magnify speech, give birth to inspired insight.

9.97.37 Wakeful poet of truthful thoughts, purified Soma settles in the vessels;the skilled, dexterous charioteer-priests, paired in loving service, approach him.

9.97.38 Purified, he comes like the sun in its station, filling and opening both worlds;even dear aid comes to one beloved of him; he will extend wealth to the worker.

9.97.39 Growing and causing growth, generous Soma purified shines over us with his light;by him our ancient fathers, knowing paths and finding sunlight, took cattle from the rock.

9.97.40 The ocean stepped forward in the first ordinance, giving birth to creatures as king of the world;on the fleece's height the bull in the filter grew great, the pressed Soma drop.

9.97.41 The buffalo Soma did this great deed: embryo of waters, he chose the gods;purifying, he placed strength in Indra; the drop generated light in the sun.

9.97.42 You gladden Vayu for offerings and bounty, Mitra and Varuna as you flow pure;you gladden the Marut host, the gods, and Heaven and Earth, divine Soma.

9.97.43 Flow straight, destroyer of crookedness, driving away disease and hostility;mingle milk with the cows' milk: you are Indra's friend, and we yours.

9.97.44 Flow honey's sweetness and the spring of wealth; flow heroes and a share of fortune for us;be sweet to Indra, purifying drop, and flow riches from the sea to us.

9.97.45 Pressed Soma streamed like a horse in his stream, like a river running toward the lowlands;cleansed, he sat in the wooden seat, the drop mingling with milk and waters.

9.97.46 This Soma of yours flows for you, Indra, wise and mighty, desiring the vats;sun-seeing charioteer of true strength, he was released like the god-seeker's longing.

9.97.47 Purified with ancient vigor, setting aside the daughter's forms,clad in triple shelter in the waters, he goes like a priest roaring into gatherings.

9.97.48 Now be our charioteer, god Soma; flow through the vats as you are cleansed;sweetest in waters, honeyed, faithful to Truth, like Savitar, true-minded god.

9.97.49 Flow praised toward Vayu's feast, purified toward Mitra and Varuna;toward the man who drives thought, standing on his chariot, toward Indra the bull, mace in hand.

9.97.50 Flow toward splendid garments, toward good milking cows as you are cleansed;toward shining gold for us to bear, and chariot horses, divine Soma.

9.97.51 Flow toward us with heavenly treasures and every earthly treasure as you purify;flow so that we gain wealth, and toward our song like Jamadagni's.

9.97.52 Purify with this filter, drop, and race toward riches upon the lake of Manyu;even the ruddy one, driven here like wind, granted a man to Purumedha the poet.

9.97.53 Purify with this filter for us upon the renowned, fame-giving ford;Naiguta shook sixty thousand treasures like ripe fruit from a tree for battle.

9.97.54 Great is this bull-named one's force upon Manyu's ground or upon Prishan's killing-place;he lulled Naiguta to sleep and bewildered the unseeing, unhonored foes.

9.97.55 You travel through three outstretched filters and run toward one as you are cleansed;you are Bhaga, giver of gifts, bountiful to the bountiful, O drop.

9.97.56 This all-knowing thoughtful Soma flows, king of all the world;the drop sends forth his drops in assemblies and passes through the sheep's fleece.

9.97.57 Unassailable bulls lick the drop; poets roar at his station like vultures;the wise drive him with ten fingers, anointing his form with water's juice.

9.97.58 With you as flowing Soma, may we ever distinguish what is gained in battle;may Mitra and Varuna magnify it for us, and Aditi, the river, Earth and Heaven.

9.98.2 Pressed, he wrapped himself in sheep's wool like armor upon a chariot;the drop, placed in the wooden trough, ran with swift streams.

9.98.3 Pressed, the exhilarating drop flows through wool;his stream rises in the rite, blazing and seeking cattle.

9.98.4 For you, god, desire forever to give a worshiping mortal treasure,drop, wealth in thousands, with a hundred lives.

9.98.5 O Vritra-slayer, giver of treasures, may we stand closestto your much-desired riches and nourishment, source of kindness, unconquerable one.

9.98.6 Twice five sisters bathe the self-glorious, stone-pressed one,Indra's beloved desirable wave.

9.98.7 They cleanse the desired golden-brown one in the wool,who goes among all the gods together with his rapture.

9.98.8 With his help you protect the accomplisher of skill,who gives great sunlike fame among the patrons, desirable one.

9.98.9 For you two, human Heaven and Earth, the drop was born in sacrifices,a mountain-born god for goddesses, thundering without failure.

9.98.10 For Indra, Vritra-slayer, to drink, Soma, you are poured around;and for the generous man and the god who sits in the dwelling.

9.98.11 These ancient Somas flowed through the filter at dawn,driving the crooked far away, the heedless ones before morning.

9.98.12 Friends, you and we who are patrons, may we gain the one shining in front,may we gain the fragrant prize and a home of wealth.

9.99.2 Then adorned by night he plunges into the prizes,when Vivasvat's thoughts impel the golden one on his journey.

9.99.3 We cleanse him, the rapture most fit for Indra to drink,whom cows and poets have placed together, of old and now.

9.99.4 They sang to him as he was cleansed with an ancient song;thoughts bearing the gods' names fashioned him too.

9.99.5 They purify the swelling supporter through sheep's fleece;the wise summon him like a messenger who knows the ancients' minds.

9.99.6 Cleansed, most exhilarating Soma settles in the vats;like seed placed in a beast, the lord of thought is addressed.

9.99.7 By skillful hands the god is cleansed, pressed for the gods;when he gives himself among them he enters mighty waters.

9.99.8 Pressed drop, led by men through the filter,you settle in the vats, most exhilarating for Indra.

9.100.2 Bring us, drop, purified Soma, wealth doubly strong;you foster every treasure in the worshiper's home.

9.100.3 Release thought yoked to mind like a raincloud's thunder;you foster the earthly and heavenly treasures, Soma.

9.100.5 For wisdom and skill, seer, flow pure in your stream, Soma,pressed for Indra to drink, for Mitra and Varuna too.

9.100.6 Flow pure, greatest winner of prizes, pressed into the filter in a stream,for Indra and Vishnu, Soma, sweetest to the gods.

9.100.7 Guileless mothers lick you, golden one, within the filter,like cows licking a newborn calf, flowing one, by sacred ordinance.

9.100.8 Flowing one, you travel with splendid rays toward great renown;you strike away every swelling darkness in the worshiper's home.

9.100.9 Great in ordinance, you have encompassed heaven and earth;you cast off their covering, flowing one, through your greatness.

9.101.2 That pressed drop which flows through a purifying stream,like a horse ready for work.

9.101.3 Men drive the hard-to-harm Soma, with all-embracing thought,toward sacrifice with stones.

9.101.4 Pressed Somas, sweetest and gladdening to Indra,flow through filters; let your raptures reach the gods.

9.101.5 “The drop flows for Indra,” the gods have said;lord of speech grows strong for the rite, ruling all through might.

9.101.6 The sea flows in a thousand streams, setting speech in motion;Soma is lord of wealth and Indra's friend day by day.

Hymn 9.68 — Seer: Vatsapri, son of Bhalandana. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

9.68.1 The sweet Soma drops flowed toward the god like milk cows, speaking as they rested on the ritual grass.Their udders carried the cow's bright clothing for the filtered drink.

9.68.2 Roaring, the tawny one called out against the old obstacles; as he rose he broke them apart and tasted their sweetness.He passed through the strainer with a broad course, and the god put aside the old coverings and chose the best.

9.68.3 His delight measured out the joined pairs, growing together and swelling with milk that does not run out.He discovered the great, far-reaching expanses and, moving toward them, took on lasting strength.

9.68.4 Traveling between his two mothers and urging on the waters, the wise one swells his path with his own power.The stem, speckled with barley and driven on by men, joins his kin and protects his head.

9.68.5 The poet comes to birth through skill and thought, the child of truth laid in the distant twin.Both young ones first knew their hidden birth, then raised up one half of it.

9.68.6 The wise discovered the form of the joyful one when the hawk brought the drink from far away.They cleanse the stem that grows so well in the rivers, the eager one carried around and worthy of song.

9.68.7 Ten women clean you after you have been pressed, Soma, guided by the thoughts and insights of seers.Guided by people through woolen filters and calls to the gods, you break through to win the prize.

9.68.8 Songs of praise and thought called out to Soma, as he went around, full of life and welcome.Rich with sweet drink, this immortal one sends out his voice with a stream and a wave from heaven, winning wealth.

9.68.9 This Soma sends his voice across the whole open space of heaven and sits in the jars as he is purified.Pressed by stones and cleaned with waters and milk, the drop finds his beloved open space.

9.68.10 Soma, flow around us as you are poured and give us a great variety of food.May we call on Heaven and Earth without hatred; gods, give us wealth with brave children.

Hymn 9.69 — Seer: Hiranyastupa of the Angirases. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

9.69.1 Thought is set to its task like an arrow on a bow; it is released like a calf at its mother's udder.At first it comes and gives milk as though in a wide stream; under his ordinances Soma is set moving.

9.69.2 Thought is brought near and sweet drink is poured; the joyful song moves inside the mouth.The purifying stream, like men striking the ground, flows with sweet drops around the wool.

9.69.3 Looking for his bride, he is purified over the woolen skin; he loosens Aditi's daughters as he goes toward truth.The tawny one has crossed, worshiped and driven on, bringing excitement; he sharpens his human strength and shines like a buffalo.

9.69.4 The bull calls, and the cows come in answer; the divine ones approach the god's prepared place.Soma crossed the white woolen filter and wrapped himself like a garment that had been cleaned.

9.69.5 The immortal tawny one clothed himself in an unstained shining garment when he was cleansed.On heaven's back a broad bright covering was made for him, a spread of wool on the two bowls.

9.69.6 The exciting drops rush forward together like the swift rays of the sun.Swift streams flow around the stretched thread; nothing is purified in this place without Indra.

9.69.7 Like swift currents down a river slope, the delights released by the bull found a path.May our two-legged and four-legged creatures be safe at home, Soma; may prizes and peoples remain with us.

9.69.8 Flow to us with goods, gold, horses, cows, barley, and brave offspring.Soma, you are my fathers, stationed at heaven's summit, giving long life.

9.69.9 These Soma streams being purified went toward Indra to win, like chariots.The pressed tawny streams cross the woolen strainer, leaving their covering to go toward rain.

9.69.10 Soma drop, flow for great Indra, kind and free of blame, destroying those who harm us.Bring bright treasures to the singer; Heaven and Earth, help us with the gods.

Hymn 9.70 — Seer: Renu of the Vishvamitras. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

9.70.1 Seven cows gave him true milk three times in the ancient sky.As he grew through acts of truth, he made four other worlds into beautiful garments for himself.

9.70.2 Longing for the lovely drink of immortality, he spread both heavens with his inspired art.He clothed himself in the brightest waters through his great generosity when they found the god's seat by hearing him.

9.70.3 May these be his immortal and invincible signs throughout both births;with them he purifies himself through human and divine strength, and thoughtful people seize the king.

9.70.4 Cleansed by ten skilled workers, he measured out the middle mothers with his companion.He drinks the beautiful drink of immortality and watches both human peoples, looking into their eyes.

9.70.5 Cleaned for Indra's nourishment, he rejoices between both ends of heaven and earth where he is placed.With his bull strength he drives away hostile thoughts, pointing them out like an archer who shoots an arrow.

9.70.6 Like a calf seeing its mother, he comes calling, with a noise like the Maruts.He knew the first truth that brought sunlight, and wisely chose it for his praise.

9.70.7 The terrifying bull roars with power, sharpening his two tawny horns as he watches.Soma sits in the home prepared for him, and the cow's skin becomes his woolen covering.

9.70.8 Pure and cleansed in his body, the tawny one ran down the ridge of wool.Welcomed by Mitra, Varuna, and Vayu, the sweet drink is prepared in three layers by skilled workers.

9.70.9 Flow for the gods' feast, Soma bull; enter the place in Indra's heart that holds Soma.Carry us across trouble before it strikes; you know the lands and tell us the directions when we ask.

9.70.10 Like a harnessed horse, rush to the prize; Soma drop, flow into Indra's stomach.Like a boat, carry us across the river; like a warrior in battle, keep us from blame.

Hymn 9.71 — Seer: Rishabha of the Vishvamitras. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

9.71.1 He is released on the right, powerful, and reaches his seat; he drives away deception and guards against harmful spirits, awake.The tawny one makes a covering that reaches heaven; sacred words serve as clothing beneath the bowls.

9.71.2 He comes crying out like the voice of the people, and his powerful color spreads outward.He leaves his covering, goes to his father's prepared place, and makes himself a fine new garment.

9.71.3 Pressed by stones, he is purified in hands; he acts like a bull, and thought trembles in the air.He rejoices, joins us, completes his task through song, washes in the waters, and worships in the circle.

9.71.4 They pour sweet drink all around the bright one who grows powerful on the mountain, the companion of the house.In him the cows, well offered at the udder, pour their first and widest milk on the summit.

9.71.5 Ten sisters cried out together like a chariot in Aditi's lap.He goes near the secret place of the cow when they give birth to his place with thought.

9.71.6 Like a hawk he seeks the golden seat the gods prepared with thought.They send him onto the ritual grass with song, beloved and worthy of worship; like a horse he joins the gods.

9.71.7 The wise reddish bull came down from heaven, showing his threefold back to the cows.Leading thousands across the distance, he shines like many early dawns.

9.71.8 He makes his appearance brilliant; when he settles there, he drives away those who deceive.He goes to the divine people with the waters and his own power, joining fine praise and the leaders of cattle.

9.71.9 Like a bull circling a herd, he roared and took on the brightness of the sun.The heavenly bird looked down at the earth; Soma observes his kin on every side with intelligence.

Hymn 9.72 — Seer: Harimanta of the Angirases. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.72.1 They clean the tawny one, while the reddish one is yoked; Soma is coated with cows' milk in the jar.He raises his voice and drives thought onward, dearly loved by many who praise him.

9.72.2 Many wise people speak together when they draw Soma into Indra's stomach.Men with skilled hands clean the desirable sweet drink with ten fingers born together.

9.72.3 He passes the cows without stopping, beyond the voice of the sun's beloved daughter.The one who can seize him brings him welcome; he lives with two groups of sister relatives.

9.72.4 Shaken by men and pressed by stones, the drop is dear on the ritual grass, ancient guardian of cattle and fit for sacrifice.Rich in insight and helping Manu complete the sacrifice, pure Soma is purified for you, Indra, through thought.

9.72.5 Moved by men's arms, the pressed Soma flows in his natural stream for you, Indra.You have filled the intentions and united the thoughts at the sacrifice; the tawny one settled on the wooden bowls like a bird.

9.72.6 Wise workers draw milk from the inexhaustible, thundering stem.Cows and thoughts come together to him at the seat in the home of truth, where he is born again.

9.72.7 In the earth's center, supporting high heaven, he was raised within the rivers on a wave of water.Indra's mace (the thunderbolt), the bull rich in goods, Soma is purified as a lovely delight for the heart.

9.72.8 Flow around the earthly realm, wise one, teaching the singer and shaking off trouble.Let us not lose our share of goods or reach the end of our homes; may we put on abundant tawny wealth.

9.72.9 Soma drop, bring us horses given by the hundred, cattle and gold by the thousand.Bring us ample rich food; purifying one, come near the singer.

Hymn 9.73 — Seer: Pavitra of the Angirases. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.73.1 At the lips of the drop that is blowing, they sounded together, and the centers met in the home of truth.The powerful one made three peaks to hold on to; the boats of truth carried good works across.

9.73.2 The buffaloes cried out, heading together along the right path; eager ones shook on the river's wave.With streams of sweet drink they brought the sun to birth and made Indra's beloved body grow.

9.73.3 Those with strainers sit around their words, and their ancient father guards their ordinance.Varuna set the great sea across their way; wise men sought support among the foundations.

9.73.4 Sweet-tongued ones called out without stopping on heaven's summit over the thousand-streamed filter.His swift watchers never blink; at every step there are traps laid by those who use snares.

9.73.5 Those who cried out above their father and mother shine with song and burn those without ordinances.With their power they blow away the black skin of those who hate Indra from heaven's wide region.

9.73.6 Those who called from the old place have tools for song and forceful thoughts.The blind and deaf have laughed; wrongdoers do not cross the path of truth.

9.73.7 At the strainer stretched out in a thousand streams, wise singers purify their speech.Their Rudras are eager and do no harm, watching people well, with good eyes and upright paths.

9.73.8 With good judgment, the guardian of truth cannot be deceived; he has placed three strainers inside his heart.Knowing all, he sees every world and throws those without ordinances, unloved, into a pit.

9.73.9 The thread of truth is stretched in the strainer at the tip of the tongue through Varuna's power.Wise people have reached it in their thoughts and settled there; the powerless one falls here into a pit.

Hymn 9.74 — Seer: Kakshivat, son of Dirghatamas. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

9.74.1 Just born, he cries out like a child in the wood; the reddish racer wants to win the sunlight.With heaven's seed and swelling milk he joins us; we ask him for good judgment and broad protection.

9.74.2 He is heaven's pillar and stretched foundation, a full stem that goes around everywhere.Wise, he will honor these two great worlds and bring them together, feeding them as they support each other.

9.74.3 The great stream is well prepared Soma sweetness; wide is Aditi's grazing ground as it goes toward truth.He rules the rain, the bright bull, leader of waters, whose help is worth singing about.

9.74.4 Cloud full of life is milked for milk and ghee; the center of truth comes to birth, immortal.Generous men please him together, and rainmakers pour down on the one set in place.

9.74.5 The stem roared along with the wave, eager for gods; it swells the skin for Manu.He sets a child in Aditi's lap, through whom we keep our sons and descendants.

9.74.6 Let those never-ending streams in the thousandfold strainer have children in the third expanse.Four centers set below heaven carry the immortal offering dripping with ghee.

9.74.7 When he wishes to win, he makes himself white; generous Soma knows the great world.He accompanies labor through thought, speaking to these people; he breaks the rocky enclosure of heaven.

9.74.8 Then, coated in milk, the white jar went toward the finish like a horse that had won.Those eager for the gods drove it on with thought for Kakshivat and a hundred winters of cattle.

9.74.9 Soma, your juice mingles with waters and flows through the woolen filter as it is purified.Cleaned by wise singers, sweetest one, taste good to Indra when he drinks you.

Hymn 9.75 — Seer: Kavi of the Bhrigus. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.75.1 He flows toward the beloved names placed for delight, names through which the great one grows.The watcher climbed high onto the great sun's chariot, which goes in every direction.

9.75.2 The tongue of truth flows with beloved sweet drink; he speaks and rules our thought, beyond deception.The son puts the secret name of both parents in the third realm of heaven's light.

9.75.3 Shining, he cried out toward the jars, controlled by men in the golden vessel.Those who milk truth called to him; he shines high on three supports at dawn.

9.75.4 Pressed by stones and welcomed with thoughts, pure, he lights his mother worlds.He runs along the woolen fibers, swelling the stream of sweet drink day after day.

9.75.5 Soma, flow around for our well-being; as men purify you, put on the milk mixture.With the free-flowing, far-reaching joys you give, urge Indra to make gifts.

Hymn 9.76 — Seer: Kavi of the Bhrigus. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.76.1 The sustaining, active juice of heaven is purified, giving the gods skill and people joy.Released, the tawny one freely exercises his strength in the rivers like a horse among his fighters.

9.76.2 Like a warrior he takes his weapons in his hands; like a chariot rider he seeks the sun in contests for cows.Wise workers drive the Soma drop and coat him, stirring Indra's strength.

9.76.3 Soma being purified, enter Indra's stomachs, growing stronger with your wave.Make our worlds swell like clouds with lightning, and with thought measure out lasting prizes for us.

9.76.4 The king of all is purified so we may see the sun; he calls out the seer's thought of truth.The father of thought, whose inspired words cannot be surpassed, is cleaned by the sun's rays.

9.76.5 You flow around the vessel like a bull around his herd, calling from the waters' lap.Flow to give Indra the greatest joy, so that with your help we may win in battle.

Hymn 9.77 — Seer: Kavi of the Bhrigus. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.77.1 He cried out sweetly in the vessel, Indra's mace (the thunderbolt), more beautiful than beauty.Those who milk truth easily, dripping ghee, flow like bellowing cows toward their milk.

9.77.2 This ancient one is purified, whom the hawk brought across the sky from heaven, driven by command.He joins the sweet drink, trembling at the shot from Krishanu's bow, fearful in his mind.

9.77.3 May these early and later Soma drops flow toward a great prize of cattle for us.They are lovely to see, as beautiful as snakes; they have loved each prayer and each offering.

9.77.4 May this knowing drop win against the person who attacks us; he is praised by many with a faithful mind.He planted a child in the lord's house and flows toward the wide pen filled with cows.

9.77.5 The active maker of heaven is purified; great Varuna, beyond deception, is drawn along a winding path.Mitra has been pressed, worshiped among people, roaring like a strong horse among the herd.

Hymn 9.78 — Seer: Kavi of the Bhrigus. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.78.1 The king flowed out, giving birth to speech, wearing waters and moving toward cows.He removes the dirt from the wool's body and approaches the gods' prepared place pure.

9.78.2 Soma, men pour you around for Indra; you are a wave watching people, a wise one coated in the woods.You have many paths to travel, a thousand tawny horses resting in the bowls.

9.78.3 The sea-born water spirits flowed toward wise Soma while sitting within.They drive the companion of the house and seek the unfailing favor of the purifying one.

9.78.4 Our Soma is purified, winning cows, chariots, gold, sunlight, waters, and a thousand prizes.The gods made him a drink to enjoy, a sweetest reddish drop bringing happiness.

Hymn 9.79 — Seer: Kavi of the Bhrigus. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.79.1 Let the drops flow unprompted for us, bright tawny ones pressed in the high heavens.Let want of food and hostile people perish, while our enemies perish and our thoughts succeed.

9.79.2 Let the exciting drops flow for us, the ones with which we speed our horses to win wealth.May we carry off riches everywhere, past the traps of any mortal.

9.79.3 A person can be hostile to his own, and another is hostile like a wolf.As thirst comes to a traveler in the desert, attack these evil intentions, purifying Soma.

9.79.4 Your highest center was placed in heaven; your branches grew on the earth's summit.Stones eat you on the cow's hide, while thoughtful people milk you in water with their hands.

9.79.5 So the first, most beautiful companions press out your fine juice, Soma drop.Purifying one, carry us across every reproach; let your power and beloved joy appear.

Hymn 9.80 — Seer: Vasu of the Bharadvajas. Deity: Soma being purified. Meter: Jagati.

9.80.1 The stream of Soma, who sees people, is purified; with truth he calls the gods from heaven.He flashes with Brihaspati's call, and the pressing ceremonies spread out like seas.

9.82.3 Parjanya is the father of the buffalo with leaves; he made his home on the mountains at earth's center.His sister waters flowed to the cows; he joins the stones at the feast in the sacrifice.

9.82.4 Like a wife coming to her husband, come kindly to generosity; child of the spotted cow, hear what I tell you.Move among the voices so you may live well; Soma, stay alert in the community, free from blame.

9.82.5 Just as you won a hundred for our ancestors without failing, win a thousand and circle back with the prize, Soma drop.Flow now for new well-being; the waters accompany your ordinance.

9.97.10 The prize-winning Soma drop flows through the cow's filtering wool, giving Indra strength and joy.He kills harmful spirits, keeps enemies away, and makes room as king of the people.

9.97.11 Then pressed by stones, he flows through wool and is mixed with a stream of sweet drink.The Soma drop welcomes Indra's friendship, a god making the god joyful with his delight.

9.97.12 As he is purified he flows toward beloved places and mixes gods with his own juice.The drop wears the ordinances in due season; ten fingers clothed him on the woolen ridge.

9.97.13 The red bull cries out toward cows, sounding across earth and heaven.His call sounds like Indra's in battle as he flows, sending this voice ahead.

9.97.14 Rich with juice and swelling with milk, you travel, setting the sweet stem moving.Purifying Soma, you form a continuous stream as you are poured around for Indra.

9.97.15 Flow in this way, exciting one, for joy, bending the enemy's raised weapons with your blows.Carrying your bright color all around, Soma, flow around us as you are poured, seeking cows.

9.97.16 Soma drop, welcome us with good paths; flow and make broad space.Like a hammer breaking hardships on every side, run down the woolen ridge with strength.

9.97.17 Flow to us with heavenly rain that comes quickly, full of food, healthy homes, and long life.Run across the spread-out strands, searching for these lower relatives of yours, the winds, Soma drop.

9.97.18 Being purified, untie what is knotted like a knot: both the straight path and the crooked one, Soma.Released, cry out like a racing horse; divine one, run into our human homes.

9.97.19 Soma drop, welcome for joy at the gods' feast, run with strength over the woolen ridge.Fragrant and beyond deception, flow in a thousand streams to win prizes and overcome men.

9.97.20 These bright Soma streams run like horses released into a race, with no reins, chariot, or harness.Gods, come close and drink them.

9.97.21 Soma drop, flow around us for the gods' feast, like an ocean into the bowls.May Soma give us great, desirable wealth and strong, brave sons.

9.97.22 When his voice shaped the thought of the eager one under the oldest ordinance at the milking place,then the cows called their beloved Soma drop, their chosen lord, into the jar.

9.97.23 The heavenly giver of rain swells with water; clever, he is purified for truth with truth.He became king of the people through ordinance; ten rays brought him forth over the ground.

9.97.24 With strainers he is purified, watching people, king of gods and mortals alike.The Soma drop became the twofold lord of wealth and carried well-supported, beautiful truth.

9.97.25 Like a horse seeking fame and victory, flow toward the feast of Indra and Vayu.Give us ample food by the thousand, Soma; find us wealth as you are purified.

9.97.26 May these Soma streams, poured out for the gods, run toward a home full of brave children.Like priests offering to gods in heaven, always generous, highly desired and deeply joyful, may they bring good judgment.

9.97.27 God Soma, flow in the gods' feast, great one, for the gods to drink.We are set even in great company; being purified, make Heaven and Earth secure places.

9.97.28 Roar for us like a horse yoked to bulls, terrifying like a lion, swifter than thought.Soma drop, flow toward us along the straightest paths, bringing us a good state of mind.

9.97.29 A hundred god-born streams have been released, and a thousand inspired poets clean them.Soma drop, flow from heaven with treasures; you lead the way toward great wealth.

9.97.30 Streams were released like days coming from heaven; the wise king does not break his friendship.Like a son guided by his father's plans, flow to these people with unconquered strength.

9.97.31 Your sweet streams were released as you crossed the woolen filters clean.Purifying one, you flow into the cows' home; at your birth you made the sun swell with songs.

9.97.32 Crying out along truth's path, the bright one shines through the home of immortality.Full of excitement, he is purified for Indra and sends forth speech with the thoughts of poets.

9.97.33 Heavenly bird, look down, Soma; swell the streams with your work at the gods' feast.Soma drop, enter the jar that holds Soma, crying as you go beneath the sun's rays.

9.97.34 The carrier raises three voices: the thought of truth, sacred speech, and inspired wisdom.The cows go seeking their guardian; thoughts go to Soma, calling out.

9.97.35 Mother cows call for Soma, and inspired singers seek Soma with their thoughts.Pressed Soma is purified and coated; songs and Trishtubh verses call together in Soma.

9.97.36 So, Soma, as you are poured all around, flow purified to bring us well-being.Enter Indra with a great shout; make speech grow and bring plentiful thought to birth.

9.97.37 Awake and inspired, Soma was purified with the truth of our thoughts and settled in the bowls.The pairs that seek him, together with skillful chariot-driving officiants, reach him in their desire.

9.97.38 Being purified, he took his place like the sun and filled both worlds, opening them wide.His welcome help is dear even to those who love him; may he give wealth to the worker.

9.97.39 Being purified, generous Soma makes us grow, and his light has helped us.Our ancestors who knew the path found sunlight with him and opened the rock to reach the cows.

9.97.40 The ocean crossed first according to the ordinance, bringing people to birth as king of the world.On the woolen ridge the great Soma bull grew as the drop was pressed.

9.97.41 Soma the buffalo did this great deed when, as child of the waters, he chose the gods.Purified, the drop placed power in Indra and brought light to birth in the sun.

9.97.42 You delight Vayu for a desired gift and delight Mitra and Varuna as you are purified.You delight the Maruts and the gods; divine Soma, you delight Heaven and Earth.

9.97.43 Flow in a straight course, killing wrong, driving away sickness and hostile deeds.Mixing cow's milk with milk, you are Indra's friend, and we are your friends.

9.97.44 Flow like a fountain of sweetness and a spring of goods; flow with a hero and a share for us.Purifying Soma drop, taste good to Indra and bring us wealth from the ocean.

9.97.45 Pressed Soma rushed in a stream like a horse set loose, like a river running downhill toward the prize.Purified, the drop sat in the wooden resting place and ran with cows' milk and water.

9.97.46 Here is your Soma being purified, Indra, wise and strong in the bowls, eager for you.He sees the sun, drives the chariot, has real power, and was released like the desire of people devoted to the gods.

9.97.47 Purified with ancient strength, he wears garments made by the daughter.Wearing threefold shelter in the waters, he goes to the meetings like an offering priest, crying out.

9.97.48 Divine Soma, drive your chariot for us now as you flow around and are purified in the bowls.Sweetest in the waters, rich in honey and truth, your thought is true like the god Savitar's.

9.97.49 Flow toward Vayu and the feast as you are praised, toward Mitra and Varuna as you are purified;toward the man who drives thought from his chariot, and toward strong Indra with the mace (the thunderbolt) in his arm.

9.97.50 Flow toward fine garments and milk-rich cows as you are purified;toward bright gold for us to carry and horses with chariots, divine Soma.

9.97.51 Flow toward us with heavenly goods and, as you are purified, all earthly goods.Flow with the wealth we can win and with the song of our family as with Jamadagni's.

9.97.52 Flow through this strainer and send goods toward us; run, Soma drop, through the lake.Here even the reddish one, driven like the wind, has given a man to the much-wise poet.

9.97.53 Flow through this strainer for us at the famous crossing worthy of praise.Naiguta shook down sixty thousand goods for battle, like fruit from a ripe tree.

9.97.54 Great was the sound of the bull here when the spotted one was struck with a weapon.He put Naiguta to sleep and made him cling; he drove off the unconscious, dishonored enemies.

9.97.55 Approaching the three stretched-out strainers, you run through one as you are purified.You are Bhaga, the giver of gifts; Soma drop, you are generous toward generous people.

9.97.56 This all-knowing Soma is purified, wise king of the entire world.Sending drops into gatherings, he goes through the woolen filter.

9.97.57 Strong buffaloes lick the drop, unharmed, and poets cry out at its resting place like birds of prey.Wise men move it with ten fingers and coat its form with watery juice.

9.97.58 With you, purifying Soma, may we always distinguish what was done in battle.May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, Earth, and Heaven grant us this.

9.98.10 Soma, you are poured out for Indra to drink, for the killer of Vritra,and for the man with gifts, the god who comes to sit at the gathering.

9.98.11 These old Soma streams flowed through the strainer at daybreak;they beat back the secret deceivers who came in the morning without understanding.
