Rig Veda 9.59: FLOW onward, Soma, winning kine, and steeds…
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
FLOW onward, Soma, winning kine, and steeds, and all that gives delight:
Bring hither wealth with progeny.
Flow onward from the waters, flow, inviolable, from the plants:
Flow onward from the pressing-boards.
Soma, as Pavamana, pass over all trouble and distress:
Sit on the sacred grass, a Sage.
Thou, Pavamana, foundest light; thou at thy birth becamest great:
O Indu, thou art over all.
