Sama Veda

अ असर्जि कलशां अभि मीढ्वान्त्सप्तिर्न वाजयुः च् पुनानो वाचं जनयन्नसिष्यदत्

He has flowed around the vessels, the generous one, like a charioteer eager for prize; purified, he generated speech and sent it forth.

Soma, purified, is the creator of thoughts, the creator of heaven, the creator of earth, the creator of Agni, the creator of the Sun, the creator of Indra, and also the creator of Vishnu.

अ ब्रह्मा देवानां पदवीः कवीनां ऋषिर्विप्राणां महिषोमृगाणाम् च् श्येनो गृध्राणां स्वधितिर्वनानां सोमः पवित्रमत्येति रेभन्

The priest among the gods, the path of the sages, the seer of the inspired, the bull among wild beasts, the eagle among vultures, the sustainer of forests—Soma, roaring, passes through the filter.

अ प्रावीविपद्वाच ऊर्मिं न सिन्धुर्गिर स्तोमान्पवमानो मनीषाः च् अन्तः पश्यन्वृजनेमावराण्या तिष्ठति वृषभो गोषु जानन्

He has advanced with speech, like a wave, like a river, with hymns and thoughts, O Pavamana; seeing within, he stands among the cows, the bull, knowing the lower places.

अ अग्निं वो वृधन्तमध्वराणां पुरूतमम् च् अच्छा नप्त्रे सहस्वते

To Agni, the increaser of sacrifices, most bountiful, we direct our thoughts, to the descendant of strength.

अ अयं यथा न आभुवत्त्वष्टा रूपेव तक्ष्या च् अस्य क्रत्वा यशस्वतः

As Tvashtar has shaped this one, as a craftsman fashions forms, so by his will is the glory of the renowned one.

अ अयं विश्वा अभि श्रियो ऽग्निर्देवेषु पत्यते च् आ वाजैरुप नो गमत्

This Agni, lord among the gods, surpasses all splendors; may he come to us with prizes.

अ इममिन्द्र सुतं पिब ज्येष्ठममर्त्यं मदम् च् शुक्रस्य त्वाभ्यक्षरन्धारा ऋतस्य सादने

Drink this pressed Soma, O Indra, the greatest, immortal exhilaration; the bright streams have flowed to you in the seat of truth.

अ न किष्ट्वद्रथीतरो हरी यदिन्द्र यच्छसे च् न किष्ट्वानु मज्मना न किः स्वश्व आनशे

No charioteers surpass you, O Indra, when you harness your bays; none by their path, none by their own horses can reach you.

अ इन्द्राय नूनमर्चतोक्थानि च ब्रवीतन च् सुता अमत्सुरिन्दवो ज्येष्ठं नमस्यता सहः

Now honor Indra, recite praises; the pressed Somas, eager, worship the greatest power—revere him with strength.

अ इन्द्र जुषस्व प्र वहा याहि शूर हरिह च् पिबा सुतस्य मतिर्न मधोश्चकानश्चारुर्मदाय

Indra, accept, bring forth, come, hero, with your bays; drink the pressed Soma, as the thought of the sweet, delighting in the lovely exhilaration.

Indra, fill your new belly as with the honey of heaven, as with this pressed Soma; to you the exhilarating, well-spoken draughts have come.

अ इन्द्रस्तुराषाण्मित्रो न जघान वृत्रं यतिर्न च् बिभेद वलं भृगुर्न ससाहे शत्रून्मदे सोमस्य

Indra, strong, like Mitra, slew Vritra; like a priest, he broke open Vala; like Bhrigu, he endured the enemies in the exhilaration of Soma.

You, Soma, are the third and the second half; become the giver of cows, the knower of wealth, the finder of gold. Flow forth, O Indu, established in the worlds. You are heroic, Soma, all-knowing; to you the men come and sit with their songs.
