HYMN XXX. Soma Pavamana.

1. STREAMS of this Potent One have flowed easily to the straining-cloth:

While he is cleansed he lifts his voice.

2 Indu, by pressers urged to speed, bellowing out while beautified.

Sends forth a very mighty sound.

3 Pour on us, Soma, with thy stream manconquering might which many crave,

Accompanied with hero sons.

4 Hither hath Pavamana flowed, Soma flowed hither in a stream,

To settle in the vats of wood.

5 To waters with the stones they drive thee tawny-hued, most rich in sweets,

O Indu, to be Indra's drink.

6 For Indra, for the Thunderer press the Soma very rich in sweets,

Lovely, inspiriting, for strength.
