Sama Veda II.3.2.12: Pressed out by pressers Soma goes over the
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Pressed out by pressers Soma goes over the fleecy backs of sheep,
Goes even as with a mare in tawny-coloured stream, goes in a sweetly-sounding stream.
2. Down to the water Soma, rich in kine, bath flowed with cows, with cows that have been milked.
They have approached the mixing-vessels as a sea: the cheerer streams for the carouse.
