Mandala 9: HYMN XXV. Soma Pavamana.

1. GREEN-HUED! as one who giveth strength flow on for Gods to drink, a draught For Vāyu and the Marut host.

2. O Pavamana, sent by song, roaring about thy dwelling-place, Pass into Vāyu as Law bids.

3. The Steer shines with the Deities, dear Sage in his appointed home, Foe-Slayer, most beloved by Gods.

4. Taking each beauteous form, he goes, desirable, while purified, Thither where- the Immortals sit.

5. To Indra Soma flows, the Red, engendering song, exceeding wise, The visitor of living men.

6. Flow, best exhilarator, Sage, flow to the filter in a stream To seat thee in the place of song.
