HYMN XXV. Soma Pavamana.

1. GREEN-HUED! as one who giveth strength flow on for Gods to drink, a draught

For Vayu and the Marut host.

2 O Pavamana, sent by song, roaring about thy dwelling-place,

Pass into Vayu as Law bids.

3 The Steer shines with the Deities, dear Sage in his appointed home,

Foe-Slayer, most beloved by Gods.

4 Taking each beauteous form, he goes, desirable, while purified,

Thither where- the Immortals sit.

5 To Indra Soma flows, the Red, engendering song, exceeding wise,

The visitor of living men.

6 Flow, best exhilarator, Sage, flow to the filter in a stream

To seat thee in the place of song.
