Rig Veda 9.96.23

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अपघ्नन्नेषि पवमान शत्रून परियां न जारो अभिगीत इन्दुः | सीदन वनेषु शकुनो न पत्वा सोमः पुनानः कलशेषु सत्ता

IAST Romanisation

apaghnanneṣi pavamāna śatrūn priyāṃ na jāro abhighīta induḥ | sīdan vaneṣu śakuno na patvā somaḥ punānaḥ kalaśeṣu sattā

English Translation (Griffith)

Chasing our foes thou comest, Pavamana Indu, besting, as lover to his darling. As a bird flies and settles in the forest, thus Soma settles, purified, in goblets.
