Book 20: Hymn 109

HYMN CIX

1The juice of Soma thus diffused, sweet to the taste, the bright
Cows drink
Who for the sake of splendour close to mighty Indra's side
rejoice, good in their own supremacy.
2Craving his touch the dappled Kine mingle the Soma with their
milk. p. 353
The milch-kine dear to Indra send forth his death-dealing thun-
derbolt, good in their own supremacy.
3With veneration, passing wise, honouring his victorious might,
They follow close his many laws to win them due preeminence,
good in their own supremacy.
