The Rig Veda

This restless soma – you try to grab him but he breaks away and overpowers everything.  He is a sage and a seer inspired by poetry

He covers the naked and heals all who are sick.  The blind man sees; the lame man steps forth.

Soma , you are a broad defence against those who hate us, both enemies we have made ourselves and those made by others

Through your knowledge and skills, rushing forward you drive out of the sky and the earth the evil deed of the enemy

Let those who seek find what they seek; let them receive the treasure given by the generous and stop the greedy from getting what they want

Let him find what was lost before; let him push forward the man of truth.  Let him stretch out the life span that has not yet crossed its span

Be kind and merciful to us soma; be good to our heart, without confusing our powers in your whirlwind

King soma, do not enrage us; do not terrify us; do not wound our heart with dazzling light

Give help when you see the evil plans of the gods in your own house.  Generous king, keep away hatreds, keep away failures
