ए॒ते सोमाः॒ पव॑मानास॒ इन्द्रं॒ रथा॑ इव॒ प्र य॑युः सा॒तिमच्छ॑ । सु॒ताः प॒वित्र॒मति॑ य॒न्त्यव्यं॑ हि॒त्वी व॒व्रिं ह॒रितो॑ वृ॒ष्टिमच्छ॑
ete somāḥ pavamānāsa indraṃ rathā iva pra yayuḥ sātimaccha sutāḥ pavitramati yantyavyaṃ hitvī vavriṃ harito vṛṣṭimaccha
These Somas, the purifying ones, like chariots went to Indra. The purified sons go to the sacred seat; having slain the foe they bring down the rain from Harita.
These filtered Soma-juices advance to Indra worthy of honour, as (Indra's) chariots advance to battle; expressed (with the stones) they pass through the woollen filter, casting off infirmity the horses go towards the rain.
These Pavamanas here, these drops of Soma, to Indra have sped forth like cars to booty. Effused, they pass the cleansing fleece, while, gold-hued, they cast their covering off to pour the rain down.
