XVIII Soma Pavamana.

1. For first possession of your juice, for the exhilarating drink,

Drive ye away the dog, my friends, drive ye the long-tongued dog away!

2. He who with purifying stream, effused, comes flowing hitherward,

Indu, is like an able steed.

3. With prayer all-reaching let the men tend unassailable Soma: be  -

The stones prepared for sacrifice!
