ऋग्वेद 9.22 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

एते सोमास आशवो रथा इव प्र वाजिनः । सर्गाः सृष्टा अहेषत ॥

ete somāsa āśavo rathā iva pra vājinaḥ | sargāḥ sṛṣṭā aheṣata ||

These Soma-jices, when let out, neigh as they leap swiftly forth like chariots or rapid steeds let loose.

एते वाता इवोरवः पर्जन्यस्येव वृष्टयः । अग्नेरिव भ्रमा वृथा ॥

ete vātā ivoravaḥ parjanyasyeva vṛṣṭayaḥ | agneriva bhramā vṛthā ||

Like strong winds, like the rains of Parjanya, like the swift-whiring (flames) of fire.

एते पूता विपश्चितः सोमासो दध्याशिरः । विपा व्यानशुर्धियः ॥

ete pūtā vipaścitaḥ somāso dadhyāśiraḥ | vipā vyānaśurdhiyaḥ ||

These pure Soma-juices, sagacious, mixed with curds, easily pervade our cermonies with their intelligence.

एते मृष्टा अमर्त्याः ससृवांसो न शश्रमुः । इयक्षन्तः पथो रजः ॥

ete mṛṣṭā amartyāḥ sasṛvāṃso na śaśramuḥ | iyakṣantaḥ patho rajaḥ ||

Purified, immortal, issuing from the vessels, eager to traverse their (assigned) paths and the universe, they are never wearied.

एते पृष्ठानि रोदसोर्विप्रयन्तो व्यानशुः । उतेदमुत्तमं रजः ॥

ete pṛṣṭhāni rodasorviprayanto vyānaśuḥ | utedamuttamaṃ rajaḥ ||

Spreading in various directions, they pervade the surface of earth and sky, you and this highest heaven.

तन्तुं तन्वानमुत्तममनु प्रवत आशत । उतेदमुत्तमाय्यम् ॥

tantuṃ tanvānamuttamamanu pravata āśata | utedamuttamāyyam ||

Descending rivers follow this excellent (Soma) as it spreads out the sacrifice; this rits is glorified thereby.

त्वं सोम पणिभ्य आ वसु गव्यानि धारयः । ततं तन्तुमचिक्रदः ॥

tvaṃ soma paṇibhya ā vasu gavyāni dhārayaḥ | tataṃ tantumacikradaḥ ||

You, Soma, hold the wealth of kine which you have won from the Paṇis, you have called aloud at the outspread sacrifice.
