XX Soma Pavamana

1. Strong Indu, bathed in milk, flows on for Indra, Soma exciting strength, for his carousal.

He quells malignity and slays the demons, King of the homestead, he who gives us comfort.

2. Then in a stream he flows, milked out with press-stones, mingled with sweetness, through the fleecy filter - -

Indu rejoicing in the love of Indra, the God who gladdens for the God's enjoyment.

3. He flows, as he is cleansed, to sacred duties, a God bedewing Gods with his own juices.

Indu hath, clothed in powers that suit the season, on the raised fleece engaged the ten swift fingers.
