Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.16
प्र ते सोतार ओण्यो रसम् मदाय घृष्वये । सर्गो न तक्त्य् एतशः ॥
pra te sotāra oṇyo rasam madāya ghṛṣvaye | sargo na takty etaśaḥ ||
The pressers from the Soma-press send forth thy juice for rapturous joy The speckled sap runs like a flood.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
क्रत्वा दक्षस्य रथ्यम् अपो वसानम् अन्धसा । गोषाम् अण्वेषु सश्चिम ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अनप्तम् अप्सु दुष्टरं सोमम् पवित्र आ सृज । पुनीहीन्द्राय पातवे ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र पुनानस्य चेतसा सोमः पवित्रे अर्षति । क्रत्वा सधस्थम् आसदत् ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र त्वा नमोभिर् इन्दव इन्द्र सोमा असृक्षत । महे भराय कारिणः ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुनानो रूपे अव्यये विश्वा अर्षन्न् अभि श्रियः । शूरो न गोषु तिष्ठति ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दिवो न सानु पिप्युषी धारा सुतस्य वेधसः । वृथा पवित्रे अर्षति ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं सोम विपश्चितं तना पुनान आयुषु । अव्यो वारं वि धावसि ॥
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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
