9.46.1

असृ॑ग्रन्दे॒ववी॑त॒येऽत्या॑सः॒ कृत्व्या॑ इव ।
क्षर॑न्तः पर्वता॒वृधः॑ ॥

Swift and like active doers, they were sent forth for the gods' pursuit, dripping, the Soma strengthened by the mountains.

परि॑ष्कृतास॒ इन्द॑वो॒ योषे॑व॒ पित्र्या॑वती ।
वा॒युं सोमा॑ असृक्षत ॥

The purified drops, like a woman rich in her fathers' line, flowed toward Vāyu, the Somas went forth to the wind.

ए॒ते सोमा॑स॒ इन्द॑वः॒ प्रय॑स्वन्तः च॒मू सु॒ताः ।
इन्द्रं॑ वर्धन्ति॒ कर्म॑भिः ॥

These Soma-juices, drops, rich in milk, pressed in the vessel, make Indra grow by their deeds.

आ धा॑वता सुहस्त्यः शु॒क्रा गृ॑भ्णीत म॒न्थिना॑ ।
गोभिः॑ श्रीणीत मत्स॒रम् ॥

Run forward, O skilled-handed ones; seize the bright Soma with both churning-sticks, and mix that exhilarating sweetness with the cows' milk.

स प॑वस्व धनंजय प्रय॒न्ता राध॑सो म॒हः ।
अ॒स्मभ्यं॑ सोम गातु॒वित् ॥

Flow and purify yourself, O winner of wealth, bringer of great riches; for us, O Soma, become the knower of the path.

ए॒तं मृ॑जन्ति॒ मर्ज्यं॒ पव॑मानं॒ दश॒ क्षिपः॑ ।
इन्द्रा॑य मत्स॒रं मद॑म् ॥

Ten fingers cleanse this flowing Soma; for Indra, the exhilarating, intoxicating drink.
