HYMN 20 Soma Pavamana

1

The Gods have come to Indu well-descended, beautified with milk,
The active crusher of the foe.

2

Even as mother cows their calf, so let our praise-songs strengthen him,
Yea, him who winneth Indra's heart!

3

Soma, pour blessings on our kine, pour forth the food that streams with milk:
Increase the sea, praiseworthy one!
