Sukta 9.86
अद्रिभिः सुतः पवसे पवित्र आँ इन्दविन्द्रस्य जठरेष्वाविशन् । त्वं नृचक्षा अभवो विचक्षण सोम गोत्रमङ्गिरोभ्योऽवृणोरप ॥
ádribhiḥ sutáḥ pavase pavítra ā́ índav índrasya jaṭháreṣv āviśán | tváṃ nṛcákṣā abhavo vi-cakṣaṇa soma gótram áṅgirobhyo ’vṛṇor ápa ||
Pressed by the stones, you purify yourself, O Indu, entering the strainer; entering Indra’s bellies. You became the seer of men, wide-seeing Soma; you opened the concealed ‘cow-pen’ for the Angirases.
