Ṛgveda · Sūkta 9.9

9.9.1

परि॑ प्रि॒या दि॒वः क॒विर्वयां॑सि न॒प्त्यो॑र्हि॒तः ।
सु॒वा॒नो या॑ति क॒विक्र॑तुः ॥

Dear to heaven, the seer Soma, set within the two sisters (the waters), being pressed, moves forward with the sage's purpose.

प्रप्र॒ क्षया॑य॒ पन्य॑से॒ जना॑य॒ जुष्टो॑ अ॒द्रुहे॑ ।
वी॒त्य॑र्ष॒ चनि॑ष्ठया ॥

Onward, onward, dear to the man of dominion, to the protecting lord, to the non-deceiver; flow forth with the current, with the best one.

स सू॒नुर्मा॒तरा॒ शुचि॑र्जा॒तो जा॒ते अ॑रोचयत् ।
म॒हान्म॒ही ऋ॑ता॒वृधा॑ ॥

That pure son, born, made the two mothers bright at their birth; great, he made the two great ones, who uphold truth, bright.

स स॒प्त धी॒तिभि॑र्हि॒तो न॒द्यो॑ अजिन्वद॒द्रुहः॑ ।
या एक॒मक्षि॑ वावृ॒धुः ॥

Set within the seven thoughts, he impelled the rivers, the non-deceiving ones, who swelled the one eye (the primal light).

ता अ॒भि सन्त॒मस्तृ॑तं म॒हे युवा॑न॒मा द॑धुः ।
इन्दु॑मिन्द्र॒ तव॑ व्र॒ते ॥

They set the existing, unbound, youthful one for greatness; O Indra, the drop of Soma, in your vow.

अ॒भि वह्नि॒रम॑र्त्यः स॒प्त प॑श्यति॒ वाव॑हिः ।
क्रिवि॑र्दे॒वीर॑तर्पयत् ॥

The immortal bearer Agni beholds the seven; the curly-haired flame that carries the oblation gladdens the goddesses.

अवा॒ कल्पे॑षु नः पुम॒स्तमां॑सि सोम॒ योध्या॑ ।
तानि॑ पुनान जङ्घनः ॥

O Soma, drive away the darknesses that stand against us in the ritual arrangements; O purifier, strike them down.

नू नव्य॑से॒ नवी॑यसे सू॒क्ताय॑ साधया प॒थः ।
प्र॒त्न॒वद्रो॑चया॒ रुचः॑ ॥

Now prepare the paths for the newer and still newer one, for the well-made hymn; make the lights shine as of old.

पव॑मान॒ महि॒ श्रवः॒ गामश्वं॑ रासि वी॒रव॑त् ।
सना॑ मे॒धां सना॒ स्वः॑ ॥

O purifying Soma, bestow great fame, cow and horse, with heroic sons; grant insight, grant heavenly light.
