Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 48 Soma Pavamana

1

WITH sacrifice we seek to thee kind Cherisher of manly might
In mansions of the lofty heavens;

2

Gladdening crusher of the bold, ruling with very mighty sway,
Destroyer of a hundred forts.

3

Hence, Sapient One! the Falcon, strong of wing, unwearied, brought thee down,
Lord over riches, from the sky.

4

That each may see the light, the Bird brought us the guard of Law, the Friend
Of all, the speeder through the air.

5

And now, sent forth, it hath attained to mighty power and majesty,
Most active, ready to assist.
