Sama Veda II.8.2.16: The Pavamanas have been poured, the brilliant drops
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The Pavamanas have been poured, the brilliant drops of Soma juice,
For holy lore of every kind.
2. From heaven, from out the firmament hath PavamAna been effused
Upon the back and ridge of earth.
3. The Pavamanas have been shed, the beautified swift Somadrops,
Driving all enemies afar.
