Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 53 Soma Pavamana

1

O THOU with stones for arms, thy powers, crushing the fiends, have raised themselves:
Chase thou the foes who compass us.

2

Thou conquerest thus with might when car meets car, and when the prize is staked:
With fearless heart will I sing praise.

3

No one with evil thought assails this Pavamana's holy laws:
Crush him who fain would fight with thee.

4

For Indra to the streams they drive the tawny rapture-dropping Steed,
Indu the bringer of delight.
