- Ṛgveda 9.74.1, English BORN like a youngling he hath clamoured in the wood, when he, the Red, the Strong, would win the light of heaven. He comes with heavenly seed that makes the water swell: him for wide-spreading shelter we implore with prayer. Ralph T.H. Griffith

- Ṛgveda 9.74.3, English Wide space hath he who follows Aditi's right path, and mighty, well-made food, meath blent with Soma juice; He who from hence commands the rain, Steer of the kine, Leader of floods, who helps us hence, who claims our laud. Ralph T.H. Griffith

- Ṛgveda 9.74.7, English Soma assumes white colour when he strives to gain: the bounteous Asura knows full many a precious boon. Down the steep slope, through song, he comes to sacrifice, and he will burst the water-holding cask of heaven, Ralph T.H. Griffith
- Ṛgveda 9.74.8, English Yea, to the shining milk-anointed beaker, as to his goal, hath stepped the conquering Courser. Pious-souled men have sent their gift of cattle unto Kaksivan of the hundred winters. Ralph T.H. Griffith
- Ṛgveda 9.74.9, English Soma, thy juice when thou art blended with the streams, flows, Pavamana, through the long wool of the sheep. So, cleansed by sages. O best giver of delight, grow sweet for Indra, Pavamana! for his drink. Ralph T.H. Griffith
