HYMN LVI. Soma Pavamana.

1. SWIFT to the purifying sieve flows Soma as exalted Law,

Slaying the fiends, loving the Gods.

2 When Soma pours the strengthening food a hundred ever-active streams

To Indra's friendship win theirway.

3 Ten Dames have sung to welcome thee, even as a maiden greets her love:

O Soma, thou art decked to win.

4 Flow hitherward, O Indu, sweet to Indra and to Visnu: guard

The men, the singers, from distress.
