XVI Soma Pavamana

1. Strong, mountain-born, the stalk hath been pressed in the streams for rapturous joy.

Hawk-like he settles in his home.

2. Fair is the juice beloved of Gods, washed in the waters, pressed by men:

The milch kine sweeten it with milk

3. Then, like a steed, have they adorned the inciter for eternal life,

The meath's juice at the festival.
