Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.101
पुरोजिती वो अन्धसः सुताय मादयित्नवे । अप श्वानं श्नथिष्टन सखायो दीर्घजिह्व्यम् ॥
purojitī vo andhasaḥ sutāya mādayitnave | apa śvānaṃ śnathiṣṭana sakhāyo dīrghajihvyam ||
For first possession of your juice, for the exhilarating drink, Drive ye away the dog, my friends, drive ye the long-tongued dog away.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो धारया पावकया परिप्रस्यन्दते सुतः । इन्दुर् अश्वो न कृत्व्यः ॥
yo dhārayā pāvakayā pariprasyandate sutaḥ | indur aśvo na kṛtvyaḥ ||
He who with purifying stream, effused, comes flowing hitherward, Indu, is like an able steed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं दुरोषम् अभी नरः सोमं विश्वाच्या धिया । यज्ञं हिन्वन्त्य् अद्रिभिः ॥
taṃ duroṣam abhī naraḥ somaṃ viśvācyā dhiyā | yajñaṃ hinvanty adribhiḥ ||
The men with all-pervading song send unassailable Soma forth, By pressing-stones, to sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुतासो मधुमत्तमाः सोमा इन्द्राय मन्दिनः । पवित्रवन्तो अक्षरन् देवान् गच्छन्तु वो मदाः ॥
sutāso madhumattamāḥ somā indrāya mandinaḥ | pavitravanto akṣaran devān gacchantu vo madāḥ ||
The Somas, very rich in sweets, for which the sieve is destined, flow, Effused, the source of Indra's joy: may your strong juices reach the Gods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्दुर् इन्द्राय पवत इति देवासो अब्रुवन् । वाचस् पतिर् मखस्यते विश्वस्येशान ओजसा ॥
indur indrāya pavata iti devāso abruvan | vācas patir makhasyate viśvasyeśāna ojasā ||
Indu flows on for Indra's sake: thus have the Deities declared. The Lord of Speech exerts himself, Ruler of all, because of might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सहस्रधारः पवते समुद्रो वाचमीङ्खयः । सोमः पती रयीणां सखेन्द्रस्य दिवे-दिवे ॥
sahasradhāraḥ pavate samudro vācamīṅkhayaḥ | somaḥ patī rayīṇāṃ sakhendrasya dive-dive ||
Inciter of the voice of song, with thousand streams the ocean flows, Even Soma, Lord of opulence, the Friend of Indra, day by day.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अयम् पूषा रयिर् भगः सोमः पुनानो अर्षति । पतिर् विश्वस्य भूमनो व्य् अख्यद् रोदसी उभे ॥
ayam pūṣā rayir bhagaḥ somaḥ punāno arṣati | patir viśvasya bhūmano vy akhyad rodasī ubhe ||
As Pusan, Fortune, Bhaga, comes this Soma while they make him pure. He, Lord of the multitude, hath looked upon the earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् उ प्रिया अनूषत गावो मदाय घृष्वयः । सोमासः कृण्वते पथः पवमानास इन्दवः ॥
sam u priyā anūṣata gāvo madāya ghṛṣvayaḥ | somāsaḥ kṛṇvate pathaḥ pavamānāsa indavaḥ ||
The dear cows lowed in joyful mood together to the gladdening drink. The drops as they were purified, the Soma juices, made then paths.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य ओजिष्ठस् तम् आ भर पवमान श्रवाय्यम् । यः पञ्च चर्षणीर् अभि रयिं येन वनामहै ॥
ya ojiṣṭhas tam ā bhara pavamāna śravāyyam | yaḥ pañca carṣaṇīr abhi rayiṃ yena vanāmahai ||
O Pavamana, bring the juice, the mightiest, worthy to be famed, Which the Five Tribes have over them, whereby we may win opulence.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सोमाः पवन्त इन्दवो ऽस्मभ्यं गातुवित्तमाः । मित्राः सुवाना अरेपसः स्वाध्यः स्वर्विदः ॥
somāḥ pavanta indavo 'smabhyaṃ gātuvittamāḥ | mitrāḥ suvānā arepasaḥ svādhyaḥ svarvidaḥ ||
For us the Soma juices flow, the drops best furtherers of our weal, Effused as friends without a spot, benevolent, finders of the light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

Effused by means of pressing-stones, upon the ox-hide visible, They, treasure-finders, have announced food unto us from every side.

एते पूता विपश्चितः सोमासो दध्याशिरः । सूर्यासो न दर्शतासो जिगत्नवो ध्रुवा घृते ॥
ete pūtā vipaścitaḥ somāso dadhyāśiraḥ | sūryāso na darśatāso jigatnavo dhruvā ghṛte ||
These Soma juices, skilled in song, purified, blent with milk and curd, When moving and when firmly laid in oil, resemble lovely Suns.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र सुन्वानस्यान्धसो मर्तो न वृत तद् वचः । अप श्वानम् अराधसं हता मखं न भृगवः ॥
pra sunvānasyāndhaso marto na vṛta tad vacaḥ | apa śvānam arādhasaṃ hatā makhaṃ na bhṛgavaḥ ||
Let not the power of men restrain the voice of the outpouring juice: As Bhrgu's sons chased Makha, so drive ye the greedy hound away.

That Hero who produces strength, he who hath propped both worlds apart, Gold-hued, hath wrapped him in the sieve, to settle, priest-like, in his place.
