Sukta 39

Mantra 1

आशुरर्ष बृहन्मते परि प्रियेण धाम्ना । यत्र देवा इति ब्रवन् ॥

O swift-flowing Soma, stream forth around the vast-minded Truth, by the beloved law of thy own luminous dwelling, to that plane where the gods affirm the eternal ‘It is’.

Mantra 2

परिष्कृण्वन्ननिष्कृतं जनाय यातयन्निषः । वृष्टिं दिवः परि स्रव ॥

Perfecting what is yet unperfected for the human being, driving forward the impulsions of our seeking, flow around us as the rain of heaven—an outpouring of the higher Light.

Mantra 3

सुत एति पवित्र आ त्विषिं दधान ओजसा । विचक्षाणो विरोचयन् ॥

Pressed out, he comes to the purifier, taking on brilliance by his power; he sees with a discerning vision and makes the inner worlds shine.

Mantra 4

अयं स यो दिवस्परि रघुयामा पवित्र आ । सिन्धोरूर्मा व्यक्षरत् ॥

This is he who, swift in his courses, comes from beyond heaven to the purifier; like a wave of the great river he pours himself out and spreads.

Mantra 5

आविवासन्परावतो अथो अर्वावतः सुतः । इन्द्राय सिच्यते मधु ॥

He has been made to shine forth from the far and also from the near; pressed out, the honeyed delight is poured for Indra—the force that conquers in us.

Mantra 6

समीचीना अनूषत हरिं हिन्वन्त्यद्रिभिः । योनावृतस्य सीदत ॥

The rightly-directed powers chant to him; they impel the tawny one with the pressing-stones: sit in the womb of the Truth, in the ordered seat of the rite within us.
