Sama Veda

सोमः पुनान ऊर्मिणाव्यं वारं वि धावति अग्रे वाचः पवमानः कनिक्रदत्

Soma, purified, rushes with his wave, breaking through the barrier; at the forefront of speech, the roaring one bellows.

For the purified, skillful Soma, words are spoken; he delights in the offerings, accepting them with thoughts, like a wage.

O Soma, pressed, bring us wealth with cattle, with horses, with skill, with riches; place the pure color among the cows.

अस्मभ्यं त्वा वसुविदमभि वाणीरनूषत गोभिष्टे वर्णमभि वासयामसि

For us, the singers have invoked you, the giver of wealth; with cows we will clothe you in color.

पवस्व मधुमत्तम इन्द्राय सोम क्रतुवित्तमो मदः महि द्युक्षतमो मदः

Flow forth, Soma, most sweet, most wise, for Indra; let the mightiest exhilaration, the most glorious exhilaration, be thine.
