9.23.1

सोमा॑ असृग्रमा॒शवः॒ मधो॒र्मद॑स्य॒ धार॑या ।
अ॒भि विश्वा॑नि॒ काव्या॑ ॥

The swift Somas flowed forth with the stream of sweet exhilaration, toward all the sacred verses.

अनु॑ प्र॒त्नास॑ आ॒यवः॑ प॒दं नवी॑यो अक्रमुः ।
रु॒चे ज॑नन्त॒ सूर्य॑म् ॥

The ancient striving ones advanced along a new path; for the light they brought forth the sun.

आ प॑वमान नो भरा॒र्यो अदा॑शुषो॒ गय॑म् ।
कृ॒धि प्र॒जाव॑ती॒रिषः॑ ॥

O Pavamāna, bring us herds from the stingy foe; make nourishments rich in offspring.

अ॒भि सोमा॑स आ॒यवः॒ पव॑न्ते॒ मद्यं॒ मद॑म् ।
अ॒भि कोशं॑ मधु॒श्चुत॑म् ॥

The Somas, the striving ones, flow toward the exhilarating intoxication, toward the vessel dripping with sweetness.

सोमो॑ अर्षति धर्ण॒सिर्दधा॑न इन्द्रि॒यं रस॑म् ।
सु॒वीरो॑ अभिशस्ति॒पाः ॥

Soma flows, the sustainer, bestowing vigor and essence; rich in heroic sons, protector against reproach.

इन्द्रा॑य सोम पवसे दे॒वेभ्यः॑ सध॒माद्यः॑ ।
इन्दो॒ वाजं॑ सिषाससि ॥

For Indra you flow, O Soma, for the gods as a companion in joy. O Indu, you desire to win the prize of strength.

अ॒स्य पी॒त्वा मदा॑नां॒ इन्द्रो॑ वृ॒त्राण्य॑प्र॒ति ।
ज॒घान॑ ज॒घन॑च्च॒ नु ॥

Having drunk of these exhilarating drinks, Indra has slain the irresistible obstructors, and may he now slay on.
