Sama Veda II.3.1.18: Soma, while filtered, with his wave flows through
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Soma, while filtered, with his wave flows through the long wool of the sheep,
Roaring, while purified, before the voice of song.
2. With prayers they cleanse the mighty steed, sporting in wood, above the fleece:
Our hymns, intoned, have praised him of the triple height.
3. He hath been hastened to the jars, bountiful, like an eager horse,
And, lifting up his voice, while filtered, glided on.
