Sukta 29

Mantra 1

प्रास्य धारा अक्षरन्वृष्णः सुतस्यौजसा । देवाँ अनु प्रभूषतः ॥

Forth flow the streams of this strong One; by the pressed Soma’s might they run. They move in the wake of the Gods, adorning and empowering the divine workings within us.

Mantra 2

सप्तिं मृजन्ति वेधसो गृणन्तः कारवो गिरा । ज्योतिर्जज्ञानमुक्थ्यम् ॥

The seers, singing with their word, cleanse the coursing steed; the makers of hymn purify him—him who is born as Light, worthy of the high chant of realization.

Mantra 3

सुषहा सोम तानि ते पुनानाय प्रभूवसो । वर्धा समुद्रमुक्थ्यम् ॥

O Soma, mighty to endure, those powers of yours—while you are purifying, O master of abundance—grow into the ocean of the inspired chant, vast and sustaining.

Mantra 4

विश्वा वसूनि संजयन्पवस्व सोम धारया । इनु द्वेषांसि सध्र्यक् ॥

Winning for us all the inner riches, flow, O Soma, in your stream; drive away the hatreds and resistances, straight to their end.

Mantra 5

रक्षा सु नो अररुषः स्वनात्समस्य कस्य चित् । निदो यत्र मुमुच्महे ॥

Guard us well, O flaming-pure One, from the noise and outcry of anyone at all— from the blame and negation at the point where we seek release.

Mantra 6

एन्दो पार्थिवं रयिं दिव्यं पवस्व धारया । द्युमन्तं शुष्ममा भर ॥

O Indu, flow in your stream bringing the earthly and the heavenly plenitude; bring to us the luminous force, the shining might of victory in the soul.
