A description of the experience
Samavedas – Book 02 Chapter 02, X Soma Pavamana
Three are the voices that the car steed utters
he speaks the lore of prayer
the thought of Order.
To the cows’ master come the cows inquiring
the hymns with eager longing come to Soma
To Soma come the cows, the milch-kine longing
to soma sages with their hymns inquiring.
Soma, effused is purified and lauded
our hymns and Trishtup songs unite in Soma
Thus Soma, as we pour thee unto vessels
while thou art purified
flow for our welfare.
Pass into Indra with great joy and rapture
make the voice swell
and generate abundance.
