9.8.1

ए॒ते सोमा॑ अ॒भि प्रि॒यमिन्द्र॑स्य॒ काम॑मक्षरन् ।
वर्ध॑न्तो अस्य वी॒र्य॑म् ॥

These Soma juices flow toward Indra's dear desire, increasing his vigor.

पु॒ना॒नास॑श्चमू॒षदो॒ गच्छ॑न्तो वा॒युम॒श्विना॑ ।
ते नो॑ धान्तु सु॒वीर्य॑म् ॥

Purifying, seated in the vessel, going toward Vayu and the Aśvins — may they grant us good heroic strength.

इन्द्र॑स्य सोम॒ राध॑से पुना॒नो हार्दि॑ चोदय ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ योनि॑मा॒सद॑म् ॥

O Soma, purifying for Indra's wealth, stir up the heart, to take your seat in the womb of cosmic order.

मृ॒जन्ति॑ त्वा॒ दश॒ क्षिपो॑ हि॒न्वन्ति॑ स॒प्त धी॒तयः॑ ।
अनु॒ विप्रा॑ अमादिषुः ॥

Ten fingers purify you; seven thoughts stir you; the inspired poets rejoiced.

दे॒वेभ्य॑स्त्वा॒ मदा॑य॒ कं सृ॑जा॒नमति॑ मे॒ष्यः॑ ।
सं गोभि॑र्वासयामसि ॥

For the gods, for exhilaration, creating you beyond the wool-bearing ewes; we cover you together with cows.

पु॒ना॒नः क॒लशे॒~ष्वा वस्त्रा॑ण्यरु॒षो हरिः॑ ।
परि॒ गव्या॑न्यव्यत ॥

Purifying in the vessels, the ruddy, tawny Soma has flowed over the garments, around the cow-related treasures.

म॒घोन॒ आ प॑वस्व नो ज॒हि विश्वा॒ अप॒ द्विषः॑ ।
इन्दो॒ सखा॑य॒मा वि॑श ॥

O Indu, flow hither for the bountiful giver to us; strike away all hostile foes; enter into the friend.

वृ॒ष्टिं दि॒वः परि॑ स्रव द्यु॒म्नं पृ॑थि॒व्या अधि॑ ।
सहो॑ नः सोम पृ॒त्सु धाः॑ ॥

Pour rain forth from the sky; pour brilliance down upon the earth; O Soma, establish strength for us in battles.

नृ॒चक्ष॑सं त्वा व॒यमिन्द्र॑पीतं स्व॒र्विद॑म् ।
भ॒क्षी॒महि॑ प्र॒जामिष॑म् ॥

Watcher of men, drunk by Indra, finder of heaven — we would take you in; may we enjoy offspring and food.
