Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.17
प्र निम्नेनेव सिन्धवो घ्नन्तो वृत्राणि भूर्णयः । सोमा असृग्रम् आशवः ॥
pra nimneneva sindhavo ghnanto vṛtrāṇi bhūrṇayaḥ | somā asṛgram āśavaḥ ||
Like rivers down a steep descent, slaying the Vrtras, full of zeal, The rapid Soma-streams have flowed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अभि सुवानास इन्दवो वृष्टयः पृथिवीम् इव । इन्द्रं सोमासो अक्षरन् ॥
abhi suvānāsa indavo vṛṣṭayaḥ pṛthivīm iva | indraṃ somāso akṣaran ||
The drops of Soma juice effused fall like the rain upon the earth: To Indra flow the Soma-streams.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अत्यूर्मिर् मत्सरो मदः सोमः पवित्रे अर्षति । विघ्नन् रक्षांसि देवयुः ॥
atyūrmir matsaro madaḥ somaḥ pavitre arṣati | vighnan rakṣāṃsi devayuḥ ||
With swelling wave the gladdening drink, the Soma, flows into the sieve, Loving the Gods and slaying fiends.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ कलशेषु धावति पवित्रे परि षिच्यते । उक्थैर् यज्ञेषु वर्धते ॥
ā kalaśeṣu dhāvati pavitre pari ṣicyate | ukthair yajñeṣu vardhate ||
It hastens to the pitchers, poured upon the sieve it waxes strong At sacrifices through the lauds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अति त्री सोम रोचना रोहन् न भ्राजसे दिवम् । इष्णन् सूर्यं न चोदयः ॥
ati trī soma rocanā rohan na bhrājase divam | iṣṇan sūryaṃ na codayaḥ ||
Soma, thou shinest mounting heaven as 'twere above light's triple realm, And moving secm'st to speed the Sun.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अभि विप्रा अनूषत मूर्धन् यज्ञस्य कारवः । दधानाश् चक्षसि प्रियम् ॥
abhi viprā anūṣata mūrdhan yajñasya kāravaḥ | dadhānāś cakṣasi priyam ||
To him, the head of sacrifice, singers and bards have sung their songs, Offering what he loves to see.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उ त्वा वाजिनं नरो धीभिर् विप्रा अवस्यवः । मृजन्ति देवतातये ॥
tam u tvā vājinaṃ naro dhībhir viprā avasyavaḥ | mṛjanti devatātaye ||
The men, the sages with their hymns, eager for help, deck thee strong steed, Deck thee for service of the Gods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मधोर् धाराम् अनु क्षर तीव्रः सधस्थम् आसदः । चारुर् ऋताय पीतये ॥
madhor dhārām anu kṣara tīvraḥ sadhastham āsadaḥ | cārur ṛtāya pītaye ||
Flow onward to the stream of meath rest efficacious in thy home, Fair, to be drunk at sacrifice.
