HYMN XLIV. Soma Pavamana.

1. INDU, to us for this great rite, bearing as 'twere thy wave to Gods,

Unwearied, thou art flowing forQh.

2 Pleased with the hymn, impelled by prayer, Soma is hurried far away,

The Wise One in the Singer's stream.,

3 Watchful among the. gods, this juice advances to the cleansing sieve

Soma, most active, travels on.

4 Flow onward, seeking strength for us, embellishing the sacrifice:

The priest with trimmed grass calleth thee.

5 May Soma, ever bringing power to Bhaga and to Vayu, Sage

And Hero, lead us to the Gods.

6 So, to increase our wealth to-day, Inspirer, best of Furtherers,

Win for us strength and high renown.
