Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.87.7

RV 9.87.7

एष सुवानः परि सोमः पवित्रे सर्गो न सृष्टो अदधावद् अर्वा । तिग्मे शिशानो महिषो न शृङ्गे गा गव्यन्न् अभि शूरो न सत्वा ॥

eṣa suvānaḥ pari somaḥ pavitre sargo na sṛṣṭo adadhāvad arvā | tigme śiśāno mahiṣo na śṛṅge gā gavyann abhi śūro na satvā ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

This Soma, pressed into the cleansing filter, hath run as 'twere a host let loose, the Courser; Like a strong bull who whets his horns pen-pointed, like a brave warrior in the fray for cattle.
