Sukta 9.72
नृबाहुभ्यां चोदितो धारया सुतोऽनुष्वधं पवते सोम इन्द्र ते । आप्राः क्रतून्त्समजैरध्वरे मतीर्वेर्न द्रुषच्चम्वोरासदद्धरिः ॥
nṛbā́hubhyāṃ coditó dhā́rayā sutó ’nu-svadháṃ pavate sóma indra te | āprā́ḥ kratū́n sám ajair adhvaré matī́r vēr ná druṣác camvór ā́ asadat dháriḥ ||
Impelled by the arms of men, expressed in the stream, Soma flows according to his own law of delight for thee, O Indra. Thou hast filled and yoked the powers of will in the sacrifice; like a bird to its resting-place, the tawny one has come to sit upon the bowls.
