2. With wealth of gold may this my song bring unmolested might; may this,<br />
Sages! obtain the sacrifice!<br />
3. May we be thine, God Varuna, and with our princes, Mitra, thine:<br />
May we gain food and heavenly light!<br />
IX Indra<br />
1. Drive all our enemies away, smite down the foes who press around,<br />
And bring the wealth for which we long:<br />
2. Of which the world shall know forthwith as given by thee abundantly:<br />
Bring us the wealth for which we long:<br />
3. O Indra, that which is concealed in strong firm place precipito us:<br />
Bring us the wealth for which we long!<br />
X Indra-Agni<br />
1. Yea, ye are priests of sacrifice, winners in war and holy works<br />
Indra and Agni, mark this well!<br />
2. Bountiful, riders on the car, slayers of Vritra unsubdued, Indra and Agni, mark this well!<br />
3. The men with pressing-stones have pressed this meath of yours which gives delight:<br />
Indra and Agni, mark this well!<br />
XI Soma Pavamana<br />
1. For Indra girt by Maruts, flow, thou Indu, very rich in meath,<br />
To seat thee in the place of song!<br />
2. Sage: who know the lore of speech deck thee, the strong sustainer, well:<br />
Men make thee bright and beautiful.<br />
3. Let Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman drink Pavamana's juice, yea, thine.<br />
Sage! let the Maruts drink thereof.<br />
XII Soma Pavamana<br />
1. Deft-handed! thou when purified liftest thy voice amid the sea.<br />
Thou, Pavamana makest riches flow to us, yellow, abundant, much-desired.<br />
2. Made pure, as Pavamana, in the sheep's long wool, the Steer bath bellowed in the vat.<br />
Thou flowest, Soma Pavamana! balmed with 'milk unto the meeting-place of Gods.<br />
XIII Soma Pavamana<br />
1. Him here, the offspring of the sea, the ten swift fingers beautify:<br />
With the Adityas is he seen.<br />
2. With Indra and with Vayu he, effused, flows onward with the beams<br />
Of Surya to the cleansing sieve.<br />
3. Flow rich in sweets and lovely for our Bhaga, Vayu, Pushan, fair<br />
For Mitra and for Varuna!<br />
