Soma, being pressed by the priests with stones, flows forth; like a horse with golden trappings, he moves with a delightful stream, he moves with a delightful stream.
अनूपे गोमान्गोभिरक्षाः सोमो दुग्धाभिरक्षाः । समुद्रं न संवरणान्यग्मन्मन्दी मदाय तोशते
In the lowlands, Soma, rich in cows, is guarded by milk-givers; like rivers reaching the ocean, the exhilarating ones hasten together for joy.
