RV 9.56

Ralph T. H. Griffith, 1896 · 4 verses · Read at the source

9.56.1SWIFT to the purifying sieve flows Soma as exalted Law, Slaying the fiends, loving the Gods.

9.56.2When Soma pours the strengthening food a hundred ever-active streams To Indra's friendship win their way.

9.56.3Ten Dames have sung to welcome thee, even as a maiden greets her love: O Soma, thou art decked to win.

9.56.4Flow hitherward, O Indu, sweet to Indra and to Visnu: guard The men, the singers, from distress.
