Rig Veda 9.82.1: Mandala 9, Sukta 82, Mantra 1
Sukta 9.82
असावि सोमो अरुषो वृषा हरी राजेव दस्मो अभि गा अचिक्रदत् । पुनानो वारं पर्येत्यव्ययं श्येनो न योनिं घृतवन्तमासदम् ॥
asā́vi sómo aruṣó vṛ́ṣā hárī rājéva dasmó abhí gā́ acikradat | punā́nó vā́raṃ páry ety avyáyaṃ śyéno na yóniṃ ghṛtávantam āsádam ||
Soma is pressed out, ruddy and powerful, tawny; like a king, the wondrous one cries out toward the Cows of Light. Purifying, he moves around the imperishable filter, like a hawk to its nest, to the ghee-rich seat.
