1.9.103Mantra 103 – Soma Pavamana (Author: Dvita Aptya)<br />

1. To Soma who is purified as ordering Priest the song is raised:<br />

Bring meed, as 'twere, to one who makes thee glad with hymns.<br />

2 Blended with milk and curds he flows on through the long wool of the sheep.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Gold-hued, purified, makes him three seats for rest.<br />

3 On through the long wool of the sheep to the meath-dropping vat he flows:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rsis' sevenfold quire hath sung aloud to him.<br />

4 Shared by all Gods, Infallible, the Leader of our holy hymns,<br />

Golden-hued Soma, being cleansed, hath reached the bowls.<br />

5 After thy Godlike qualities, associate with Indra, go,<br />

As a Priest purified by priests, Immortal One.<br />

6 Like a car-horse who shows his strength, a God effused for Deities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> penetrating Pavamana flows along.<br />

1.9.104Mantra 104 – Soma Pavamana (Authors: Parvata Kanva, Narada Kanva)<br />

1. SIT down, O friends, and sing aloud to him who purifies himself:<br />

Deck him for glory, like a child, with holy rites.<br />

2 Unite him bringing household wealth, even as a calf, with mother kine,<br />

Him who hath double strength, the God, delighting juice.<br />

3 Purify him who gives us power, that he, most Blessed One, may be<br />

A banquet for the Troop, Mitra, and Varuna.<br />

4 Voices have sung aloud to thee as finderout of wealth for us:<br />

We clothe the hue thou wearest with a robe of milk.<br />

5 Thou, Indu, art the food of Gods, O Sovran of all gladdening drinks:<br />

As Friend for friend, be thou best finder of success.<br />

6 Drive utterly away from us each demon, each voracious fiend,<br />

<strong>The</strong> godless and the false: keep sorrow far away.<br />

1.9.105Mantra 105 – Soma Pavamana (Authors: Parvata Kanva, Narada Kanva)<br />

1. SING; ye aloud, O friends, to him who makes him pure for gladdening drink:<br />

<strong>The</strong>y shall make sweet the Child with sacrifice and laud.<br />

2 Like as a calf with mother cows, so Indu is urged forth and sent,<br />

Glorified by our hymns, the God-delighting juice.<br />

3 Effectual means of power is he, he is a banquet for the Troop,<br />

He who hath been effused, most rich in meath, for Gods.<br />

4 Flow to us, Indu, passing, strong, effused, with wealth of kine and steeds:<br />

I will spread forth above the milk thy radiant hue.<br />

5 Lord of the tawny, Indu thou who art the God's most special food,<br />

As Friend to friend, for splendour be thou good to men.<br />

6 Drive utterly, far away from us each godless, each voracious foe.<br />

O Indu, overcome and drive the false afar.<br />

1.9.106Mantra 106 – Soma Pavamana (Authors: Agni Caksusa, Caksu Manava, Manu<br />

Apsava)<br />

1. To Indra, to the Mighty Steer, may these gold-coloured juices go,<br />

Drops rapidly produced, that find the light of heaven.<br />

2 Effused, this juice victorious flows for Indra, for his maintenance.<br />

Soma bethinks him of the Conqueror, as he knows.<br />

3 May Indra in his raptures gain from him the grasp that gathers spoil,<br />

And, winning waters, wield the steerstrong thunderbolt.<br />

4 Flow vigilant for Indra, thou Soma, yea, Indu, run thou on:<br />

Bring hither splendid strength that finds the light of heaven.<br />

5 Do thou, all-beautiful, purify for Indra's sake the mighty juice,<br />

Path-maker thou, far seeing, with a thousand ways.<br />
