VIII Soma Pavamana

1. Flow onward with that stream wherewith thou gavest splendour to the sun,

Speeding the waters kind to man!

2. He, Pavamana, high o'er man, yoked the Sun's courser Etasa,

To travel through the realm of air.

3. Yea, those bay steeds he harnessed to the chariot that the Sun might come:

Indu, he said, is Indra's self.
