18540The Rig VedaMandala 9, Hymn 54
1. AFTER his ancient splendour, they, the bold, have drawn the bright milk from
     The Sage who wins a thousand gifts.
2. In aspect he is like the Sun; he runneth forward to the lakes,
     Seven currents flowing through the sky.
3. He, shining in his splendour, stands high over all things that exist-
     Soma, a God as Surya is.
4. Thou, Indu, in thy brilliancy, pourest on us, as Indra's Friend,
     Wealth from the kine to feast the Gods.
