Rig Veda 9.88.5: Mandala 9, Sukta 88, Mantra 5
Sukta 9.88
अग्निर्न यो वन आ सृज्यमानो वृथा पाजांसि कृणुते नदीषु । जनो न युध्वा महत उपब्दिरियर्ति सोमः पवमान ऊर्मिम् ॥
agnír na yó vána ā́ sṛjyámāno vṛ́thā pā́jāṃsi kṛṇute nadī́ṣu | jáno na yúdhvā maháta úpabdir íyarti sómaḥ pávamāna ū́rmim ||
Like Agni released into the forest, he makes his mights blaze along the rivers. Like a battling people with a great roar, Soma in purification drives forward the wave—an advancing surge of force.
