Ṛgveda · Sūkta 9.2

9.2.1

पव॑स्व देव॒वीरति॑ प॒वित्रं॑ सोम॒ रंह्या॑ ।
इन्द्र॑मिन्दो॒ वृषा वि॑श ॥

O Soma, lover of the gods, flow through the filter and be purified; O Indu, enter Indra like a bull.

आ व॑च्यस्व॒ महि॒ प्सरो॒ वृषे॑न्दो द्यु॒म्नव॑त्तमः ।
आ योनिं॑ धर्ण॒सिः स॑दः ॥

O bull Soma, pour forth and proclaim the great flood; O Indu, come hither most rich in brilliance; sit down in your seat as the sustainer.

अधु॑क्षत प्रि॒यं मधु॒ धारा॑ सु॒तस्य॑ वे॒धसः॑ ।
अ॒पो व॑सिष्ट सु॒क्रतुः॑ ॥

The dear sweet stream was milked from the pressed Soma; Soma of good purpose obtained the waters.

म॒हान्तं॑ त्वा म॒हीरनु॒ आपो॑ अर्षन्ति॒ सिन्ध॑वः ।
यद्गोभि॑र्वासयि॒ष्यसे॑ ॥

The great waters and rivers rush after you, great one, when you will clothe yourself with cows (milk).

स॒मु॒द्रो अ॒प्सु मा॑मृजे विष्ट॒म्भो ध॒रुणो॑ दि॒वः ।
सोमः॑ प॒वित्रे॑ अस्म॒युः ॥

The ocean is cleansed in the waters; the prop and upholder of heaven; Soma, friendly to us, is purified in the filter.

अचि॑क्रद॒द्वृषा॒ हरि॑र्म॒हान्मि॒त्रो न द॑र्श॒तः ।
सं सूर्ये॑ण रोचते ॥

The bull, tawny and great, like Mitra and visible, roars out; he gleams together with the sun.

गिर॑स्त इन्द॒ ओज॑सा मर्मृ॒ज्यन्ते॑ अप॒स्युवः॑ ।
याभि॒र्मदा॑य॒ शुम्भ॑से ॥

O Soma, hymns cleanse you with strength; the active sacrificers cleanse you, by which you shine for exhilaration.

तं त्वा॒ मदा॑य॒ घृष्व॑य उलोककृ॒त्नुमी॑महे ।
तव॒ प्रश॑स्तयो म॒हीः ॥

For exhilaration we call upon you, the bold one who makes the light-worlds; these are your great praises.

अ॒स्मभ्य॑मिन्दविन्द्र॒युर्मध्वः॑ पवस्व॒ धार॑या ।
प॒र्जन्यो॑ वृष्टि॒माँ इ॑व ॥

For us, O Soma, eager for Indra, flow with a stream of sweetness, like the cloud-god rich in rain.

गोषा इ॑न्दो नृ॒षा अ॑सि अश्व॒सा वा॑ज॒सा उ॒त ।
आ॒त्मा य॒ज्ञस्य॑ पू॒र्व्यः ॥

O Soma drop, you are protector of cattle, protector of men, protector of horses, protector of strength; you are the self of the sacrifice, primeval.
