Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 41 Soma Pavamana

1

ACTIVE and bright have they come forth, impetuous in speed like bulls,
Driving the black skin far away.

2

Quelling the riteless Dasyu, may we think upon the bridge of bliss,
Leaving the bridge of woe behind.

3

The mighty Pavamana's roar is heard as 'twere the rush of rain
Lightnings are flashing to the sky.

4

Pour out on us abundant food, when thou art pressed, O Indu wealth
In kine and gold and steeds and spoil.

5

Flow on thy way, Most Active, thou. fill full the mighty heavens and earth,
As Dawn, as Surya with his beams.

6

On every side, O Soma, flow round us with thy protecting stream,
As Rasa flows around the world.
