9.5.1

समि॑द्धो वि॒श्वत॒स्पतिः॒ पव॑मानो॒ वि रा॑जति ।
प्री॒णन्वृषा॒ कनि॑क्रदत् ॥

Kindled on every side, the lord shines forth as flowing Soma; pleasing like a bull, he roars.

तनू॒नपा॒त्पव॑मानः॒ शृङ्गे॒ शिशा॑नो अर्षति ।
अ॒न्तरि॑क्षेण॒ रार॑जत् ॥

Grandson of the waters, flowing Soma speeds sharp on both peaks; through the atmosphere he lights up.

ई॒ळेन्यः॒ पव॑मानो र॒यिर्वि रा॑जति द्यु॒मान् ।
मधो॒र्धारा॑भि॒रोज॑सा ॥

Adorable, flowing Soma shines forth as wealth, radiant; with streams of honey, with vigour, he gleams.

ब॒र्हिः प्रा॒चीन॒मोज॑सा॒ पव॑मान स्तृ॒णन्हरिः॑ ।
दे॒वेषु॑ दे॒व ई॑यते ॥

Spreading the ancient barhis with vigour, purifying, driving the tawny steeds, he moves as a god among gods.

उदातै॑र्जिहते बृ॒हद्द्वारो॑ दे॒वीर्हि॑र॒ण्ययीः॑ ।
पव॑मानेन॒ सुष्टु॑ताः ॥

Well-praised by flowing Soma, the vast golden divine doors swing open upward.

सु॒शि॒ल्पे बृ॑ह॒ती म॒ही पव॑मानो वृषण्यति ।
नक्तो॒षासा॒ न द॑र्श॒ते ॥

Fair-wrought, broad and mighty, the flowing Soma grows virile like a bull; night and dawn shine bright.

उ॒भा दे॒वा नृ॒चक्ष॑सा॒ होता॑रा॒ दैव्या॑ हुवे ।
पव॑मान॒ इन्द्रो॒ वृषा॑ ॥

I call upon the two divine hotars, who watch over men. Let Soma, the purifier, and Indra the bull come too.

भार॑ती॒ पव॑मानस्य॒ सर॑स्व॒तीळा॑ म॒ही ।
इ॒मं नो॑ य॒ज्ञमा ग॑मन्ति॒स्रो दे॒वीः सु॒पेश॑सः ॥

Bharati, Sarasvati of the purifier, and great Ila—may these three fair goddesses come to this our sacrifice.

त्वष्टा॑रमग्र॒जां गो॒पां पु॑रो॒यावा॑न॒मा हु॑वे ।
इन्दु॒रिन्द्रो॒ वृषा॒ हरिः॒ पव॑मानः प्र॒जाप॑तिः ॥

I call upon Tvaṣṭar, firstborn, protector, and forerunner. Let Indu, Indra the bull, the tawny purifying Soma, and Prajāpati come too.

वन॒स्पतिं॑ पवमान॒ मध्वा॒ सम॑ङ्ग्धि॒ धार॑या ।
स॒हस्र॑वल्शं॒ हरि॑तं॒ भ्राज॑मानं हिर॒ण्यय॑म् ॥

O purifier, anoint well with sweetness and with your stream the lord of the forest—thousand-branched, tawny, shining, golden.

विश्वे॑ देवाः॒ स्वाहा॑कृतिं॒ पव॑मान॒स्या ग॑त ।
वा॒युर्बृह॒स्पतिः॒ सूर्यो॑ अ॒ग्निरिन्द्रः॑ स॒जोष॑सः ॥

All you gods, come to the purifier's svāhā-offering. Vāyu, Bṛhaspati, the sun, Agni, and Indra, come together, of one mind.
