Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.22
एते सोमास आशवो रथा इव प्र वाजिनः । सर्गाः सृष्टा अहेषत ॥
ete somāsa āśavo rathā iva pra vājinaḥ | sargāḥ sṛṣṭā aheṣata ||
These rapid Soma-streams have stirred themselves to motion like strong steeds, Like cars, like armies hurried forth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते वाता इवोरवः पर्जन्यस्येव वृष्टयः । अग्नेर् इव भ्रमा वृथा ॥
ete vātā ivoravaḥ parjanyasyeva vṛṣṭayaḥ | agner iva bhramā vṛthā ||
Swift as wide winds they lightly move, like rain-storms of Parjanya, like The flickering flames of burning fire.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते पूता विपश्चितः सोमासो दध्याशिरः । विपा व्य् आनशुर् धियः ॥
ete pūtā vipaścitaḥ somāso dadhyāśiraḥ | vipā vy ānaśur dhiyaḥ ||
These Soma juices, blent with curds, purified, skilled in sacred hymns, Have gained by song their hearts' desire.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते मृष्टा अमर्त्याः ससृवांसो न शश्रमुः । इयक्षन्तः पथो रजः ॥
ete mṛṣṭā amartyāḥ sasṛvāṃso na śaśramuḥ | iyakṣantaḥ patho rajaḥ ||
Immortal, cleansed, these drops, since first they flowed, have never wearied, fain To reach the regions and their paths.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते पृष्ठानि रोदसोर् विप्रयन्तो व्य् आनशुः । उतेदम् उत्तमं रजः ॥
ete pṛṣṭhāni rodasor viprayanto vy ānaśuḥ | utedam uttamaṃ rajaḥ ||
Advancing they have travelled o'er the ridges of the earth and heaven, And this the highest realm of all.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तन्तुं तन्वानम् उत्तमम् अनु प्रवत आशत । उतेदम् उत्तमाय्यम् ॥
tantuṃ tanvānam uttamam anu pravata āśata | utedam uttamāyyam ||
Over the heights have they attained the highest thread that is spun out, And this which must be deemed most high.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं सोम पणिभ्य आ वसु गव्यानि धारयः । ततं तन्तुम् अचिक्रदः ॥
tvaṃ soma paṇibhya ā vasu gavyāni dhārayaḥ | tataṃ tantum acikradaḥ ||
Thou, Soma, boldest wealth in kine which thou hast seized from niggard churls: Thou calledst forth the out spun thread.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
