Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.72

हरिम् मृजन्त्य् अरुषो न युज्यते सं धेनुभिः कलशे सोमो अज्यते । उद् वाचम् ईरयति हिन्वते मती पुरुष्टुतस्य कति चित् परिप्रियः ॥

harim mṛjanty aruṣo na yujyate saṃ dhenubhiḥ kalaśe somo ajyate | ud vācam īrayati hinvate matī puruṣṭutasya kati cit paripriyaḥ ||

They cleanse the Gold-hued: like a red Steed is he yoked, and Soma in the jar is mingled with the milk. He sendeth out his voice, and many loving friends of him the highly lauded hasten with their songs.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.72.2

साकं वदन्ति बहवो मनीषिण इन्द्रस्य सोमं जठरे यद् आदुहुः । यदी मृजन्ति सुगभस्तयो नरः सनीळाभिर् दशभिः काम्यम् मधु ॥

sākaṃ vadanti bahavo manīṣiṇa indrasya somaṃ jaṭhare yad āduhuḥ | yadī mṛjanti sugabhastayo naraḥ sanīḷābhir daśabhiḥ kāmyam madhu ||

The many sages utter words in unison, while into Indra's throat they pour the Soma juice, When, with the ten that dwell together closely joined, the men whose hands are skillful cleanse the lovely meath.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.72.3

अरममाणो अत्य् एति गा अभि सूर्यस्य प्रियं दुहितुस् तिरो रवम् । अन्व् अस्मै जोषम् अभरद् विनङ्गृसः सं द्वयीभिः स्वसृभिः क्षेति जामिभिः ॥

aramamāṇo aty eti gā abhi sūryasya priyaṃ duhitus tiro ravam | anv asmai joṣam abharad vinaṅgṛsaḥ saṃ dvayībhiḥ svasṛbhiḥ kṣeti jāmibhiḥ ||

He goes upon his way, unresting, to the cows, over the roaring sound which Sarya's Daughter loves. The Falcon brought it to him for his own delight: now with the twofold kindred sisters is his home.

RV 9.72.4

नृधूतो अद्रिषुतो बर्हिषि प्रियः पतिर् गवाम् प्रदिव इन्दुर् ऋत्वियः । पुरन्धिवान् मनुषो यज्ञसाधनः शुचिर् धिया पवते सोम इन्द्र ते ॥

Washed by the men, stone-pressed, dear on the holy grass, faithful to seasons, Lord of cattle from of old, Most liberal, completing sacrifice for men, O Indra, pure bright Soma, Indu, flows for thee.

नृबाहुभ्यां चोदितो धारया सुतो ऽनुष्वधम् पवते सोम इन्द्र ते । आप्राः क्रतून् सम् अजैर् अध्वरे मतीर् वेर् न द्रुषच् चम्वोर् आसदद् धरिः ॥

nṛbāhubhyāṃ codito dhārayā suto 'nuṣvadham pavate soma indra te | āprāḥ kratūn sam ajair adhvare matīr ver na druṣac camvor āsadad dhariḥ ||

O Indra, urged by arms of men and poured in streams, Soma flows on for thee after his Godlike kind. Plans thou fulfillest, gatherest thoughts for sacrifice: in the bowls sits the Gold-hued like a roosting bird.

RV 9.72.6

sa tū pavasva pari pārthivaṃ raja stotre śikṣann ādhūnvate ca sukrato | mā no nir bhāg vasunaḥ sādanaspṛśo rayim piśaṅgam bahulaṃ vasīmahi ||
