HYMN XL Soma Pavamana.

1. SING forth to Indu, O ye men, to him who is purified,

Fain to pay worship to the Gods.

2 Together with thy pleasant juice the Atharvans have commingled milk,

Divine, devoted to the God.

3 Bring, by thy flowing, weal to kine, weal to the people, weal to steeds.

Weal, O thou King, to growing plants

4 Sing a praise-song to Soma brown of hue, of independent might.

The Red, who reaches up to heaven.

5 Purify Soma when effused with stones which bands move rapidly,

And pour the sweet milk in the meath.

6 With humble homage draw ye nigh; blend the libation with the curds:

To Indra offer Indu up.

7 Soma, foe-que chief o'er men, doing the will of pour forth

Prosperity upon our kine.

8 Heart-knower, Sovran of the heart, thou art effused, O Soma, that Indra may drink thee and rejoice.

9 O Soma Pavamana, give us riches and heroic strength, -

Indu! with. Indra for ally.
