9.69.1
इषु॒र्न धन्व॒न्प्रति॑ धीयते म॒तिर्व॒त्सो न मा॒तुरुप॑ स॒र्ज्यूध॑नि ।
उ॒रुधा॑रेव दुहे॒ अग्र॑ आय॒ती अस्य॑ व्र॒तेष्वपि॒ सोम॑ इष्यते ॥
As an arrow is set in the bow, so the thought of praise is set toward Soma; as a calf goes to its mother's udder, so Soma is poured. At the start he yields like a cow with many streams, and in his sacred rites Soma is sent forth.
9.69.2
उपो॑ म॒तिः पृ॒च्यते॑ सि॒च्यते॒ मधु॑ म॒न्द्राज॑नी चोदते अ॒न्तरा॒सनि॑ ।
पव॑मानः संत॒निः प्र॑घ्न॒तामि॑व॒ मधु॑मान्द्र॒प्सः परि॒ वार॑मर्षति ॥
The thought of praise is urged toward Soma, and sweet juice is sprinkled; the exhilarating impulse stirs him within the vessel. Flowing, purifying, ordainer of rain-water, Soma runs around the flood like a striker, a honey-rich drop.
9.69.3
अव्ये॑ वधू॒युः प॑वते॒ परि॑ त्व॒चि श्र॑थ्नी॒ते न॒प्तीरदि॑तेर्ऋ॒तं य॒ते ।
हरि॑रक्रान्यज॒तः सं॑य॒तो मदो॑ नृ॒म्णा शिशा॑नो महि॒षो न शो॑भते ॥
In the sheep's-wool filter he flows and purifies himself like an eager bridegroom seeking a bride; for the sons of Aditi, for the sacrificer held to Ṛta, he is adorned about the body. The tawny, golden, worthy-of-worship, restrained Hari Soma, in exhilaration adorning himself with manly powers, shines like a buffalo.
9.69.4
उ॒क्षा मि॑माति॒ प्रति॑ यन्ति धे॒नवो॑ दे॒वस्य॑ दे॒वीरुप॑ यन्ति निष्कृ॒तम् ।
अत्य॑क्रमी॒दर्जु॑नं॒ वार॑म॒व्यय॒मत्कं॒ न नि॒क्तं परि॒ सोमो॑ अव्यत ॥
The bull bellows, the cows come toward him; the divine cows of the god approach the purified offering. Soma went forward, golden, above the imperishable stream of Ṛta; like a vessel being wiped, Soma is filtered all around.
9.69.5
अमृ॑क्तेन॒ रुश॑ता॒ वास॑सा॒ हरि॒रम॑र्त्यो निर्णिजा॒नः परि॑ व्यत ।
दि॒वस्पृ॒ष्ठं ब॒र्हणा॑ नि॒र्णिजे॑ कृतोप॒स्तर॑णं च॒म्वो॑र्नभ॒स्मय॑म् ॥
In unstained, ruddy garments the tawny Hari Soma washes himself and, immortal, is enfolded all around. For purification, sprinkle the back of heaven with barhis-grass; O bowl, make a spreading-cloth with the water-mark of the vessel.
9.69.6
सूर्य॑स्येव र॒श्मयो॑ द्रावयि॒त्नवो॑ मत्स॒रासः॑ प्र॒सुपः॑ सा॒कमी॑रते ।
तन्तुं॑ त॒तं परि॒ सर्गा॑स आ॒शवो॒ नेन्द्रा॑दृ॒ते प॑वते॒ धाम॒ किं च॒न ॥
Like the rays of the sun, the driving, delight-giving streams are sent forth together; swift ones run around the stretched thread. Apart from Indra, Soma's dwelling-place flows nowhere at all.
9.69.7
सिन्धो॑रिव प्रव॒णे नि॒म्न आ॒शवो॒ वृष॑च्युता॒ मदा॑सो गा॒तुमा॑शत ।
शं नो॑ निवे॒शे द्वि॒पदे॒ चतु॑ष्पदे अ॒स्मे वाजाः॑ सोम तिष्ठन्तु कृ॒ष्टयः॑ ॥
As the streams flow down the slope and into the hollow, the swift exhilarating Somas shaken out by the bull have reached the path. O Soma, may there be welfare in our dwelling for biped and quadruped; may the spoils and the tribes stand firm for us.
9.69.8
आ नः॑ पवस्व॒ वसु॑म॒द्धिर॑ण्यव॒दश्वा॑व॒द्गोम॒द्यव॑मत्सु॒वीर्य॑म् ।
यू॒यं हि सो॑म पि॒तरो॒ मम॒ स्थन॑ दि॒वो मू॒र्धानः॒ प्रस्थि॑ता वय॒स्कृतः॑ ॥
Flow purifying for us with wealth, gold, horses, cows and barley, bringing heroic offspring. O Soma, you are my fathers; you stand set forth on the crest of the sky, making light.
9.69.9
ए॒ते सोमाः॒ पव॑मानास॒ इन्द्रं॒ रथा॑ इव॒ प्र य॑युः सा॒तिमच्छ॑ ।
सु॒ताः प॒वित्र॒मति॑ य॒न्त्यव्यं॑ हि॒त्वी व॒व्रिं ह॒रितो॑ वृ॒ष्टिमच्छ॑ ॥
These Somas, flowing purified toward Indra, have gone forth like chariots to the contest. The pressed Somas pass through the pure filter to the wool; leaving behind the cloud, they hasten like tawny mares to the rain.
9.69.10
इन्द॒विन्द्रा॑य बृह॒ते प॑वस्व सुमृळी॒को अ॑नव॒द्यो रि॒शादाः॑ ।
भरा॑ च॒न्द्राणि॑ गृण॒ते वसू॑नि दे॒वैर्द्या॑वापृथिवी॒ प्राव॑तं नः ॥
O drop of Soma, flow for the great Indra, well-protecting, faultless, destroyer of foes. Bring bright goods to the praiser; O heaven and earth, protect us forward with the gods.
