Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Your stalk is as strong as a bull. Naught will harm you! You are everfull of juice, ever replete, fair in glory, like the daughters of therich in whose sacrifice, O Stones, you take delight.Rig Veda X, 94, 10Smashing but never shattered, these Stones are tireless; they knowneither death nor cessation. Exempt from sickness, old age, and suffering,sleek-looking, free from thirst or craving.Rig Veda X, 94, 11Your fathers stand firm from age to age. Enamored of repose, they stirnot from their seat. Untouched by age, of golden Soma never bereft,they have forced heaven and earth to pay heed to their sound.Rig Veda X, 94, 12Thus speak the Stones at their release, when their journey is over,as they clatter, like men drinking wine. Like farmers sowing the seed,they decrease not, but rather increase by their gulping this Soma.Rig Veda X, 94, 13They uplift their voices at the ritual pressing, like children whoplayfully push at their mother. Unshackle now the thoughts of theSoma-presser! May they roll underneath, these stones till now revered!Rig Veda X, 94, 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
