English translation:

“The most sweet-flavoured Soma libations are poured forth to Indra in the hall of sacrifice.”

The soma juices have surged, the drops pressed in the seat of truth, most honeyed for Indra.

To Indra have the Soma drops, exceeding rich in sweets, been poured,
Shed in the seat of sacrifice.

Die Somasäfte haben sich ergossen, am Sitz des rechten Brauches ausgepreßt, die süßesten für Indra.

Des Soma Tropfen sind entströmt, die Säfte in des Rechtes Sitz, Dem Indra die berauschendsten.

Выпущены соки сомы, капли,
Выжатые в сидении закона,
Самые сладкие для Индры.

“The wise (priests) call upon Indra to drink the Soma as the mother low to their calves.”

The inspired poets have roared—like mother cows to their calf—
to Indra, to drink the soma.

As mother kine low to their calves, to Indra have the sages called,
Called him to drink the Soma juice.

Die Sänger haben haut geschrien nach Indra zu des Soma Trunk, Wie Mutterkühe nach dem Kalb.

English translation:

“The wise soma, the bestower of exhilaration, dwells in the hall of (sacrifice), mixed with the waves of the river to a chant in the middle tone.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Mixed with the waves of the river: i.e. the vasatīvari water; a chant in the middle tone: gauri adhi śritaḥ; cf. RV 8.007.10; another trnaslation: resting on an ox-hide, gaurī adhi = gor adhi tvaci (RV 9.101.11);

Div = sky; cf. RV 9.010.09

Arousing exhilaration, attentive to poetic inspiration, he dwells in his seat, in the wave of the river:
Soma is set upon the buffalo-cow.

On madacyút- and vipaścít- see, e.g., Scarlatta (128 and 122 respectively).

gaurī́is the loc. sg. to the vṛkī́-stem gaurī́-, not a dual (per Grassmann); see AiG III.170 and comm. ad VII.103.2 (sarasī́) and I.135.9 (nadī́). As indicated in the published introduction, of the possible referents for this buffalo cow, with Geldner and Renou (see esp. Renou’s n.) I favor the hide on which the pressing apparatus is placed – as opposed to Sāyaṇa’s ‘speech’, or Lüders’s more complex speech identified with the heavenly waters.

In the stream’s wave wise Soma dwells, distilling rapture, in his seat,
Resting upon a wiId-cow’s hide.

Rauscherregend weilt er auf seinem Platz, in des Stromes Woge, der redekundige Soma auf das Büffelfell gesetzt.

Begeistert, Rausch erregend weilt in Stromes Wellen in dem Sitz Der Soma mit der Kuh vereint.

Возбуждающий опьянение живет в сидении (закона)
В волне реки, (этот) прозорливец
Сома, покоящийся на (шкуре) буйвола.

भावार्थभाषाः - कर्मयज्ञ योगयज्ञ जपयज्ञ इस प्रकार यज्ञ नाना प्रकार के हैं, परन्तु ‘यजनं यज्ञः’ जिसमें ईश्वर का उपासनारूप अथवा विद्वानों की संगतिरूप अथवा दानात्मक कर्म किये जायँ, उसका नाम यहाँ यज्ञ है और वह यज्ञ ईश्वर की प्राप्ति का सर्वोपरि साधन है। इसी अभिप्राय से ‘यज्ञो वै विष्णुः’ श. ।३७। परमात्मा का नाम भी यज्ञ है, इसी भाव को वर्णन करते हुये गीता में यह कहा है कि ‘एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे’ इस प्रकार के कई एक यज्ञ वेद में वर्णन किये गये हैं ॥३॥

भावार्थभाषाः - जिस प्रकार ‘सत्यं ज्ञानमनन्तंब्रह्म’ तै २।१ सत्य ज्ञान और अनन्तादि गुणोंवाला ब्रह्म है, यह वाक्य सिद्धवस्तु को बोधन करता है, इसी प्रकार उक्त मन्त्र भी सिद्ध वस्तु का बोधक है और जो इस में महीयते कहा गया है, ये भी सिद्धवस्तु का बोधक है, परन्तु इस से ये शङ्का कदापि नहीं होनी चाहिये कि इस में कर्तव्य का उपदेश नहीं, क्योंकि जब महीयते कह दिया तो अर्थ ये निकले कि वह पूजा जाता है। पूजा एक प्रकार का कर्म है, उसी को कर्तव्य कहते हैं। तात्पर्य ये निकला कि परमात्मा ने इस मन्त्र में उपदेश किया है कि तुम लोग उक्तगुणसम्पन्न परमात्मा का पूजन करो अर्थात् सन्ध्यावन्दनादि कर्मों से उसे वन्दनीय समझो ॥४॥

English translation:

“Indu has embraced that Soma which is collected in the sewers and has been passed through the filter.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Indu has embraced: Indu embraces the Soma which is a portion of himself– the deity seems to be thus opposed to the mere Soma in its early forms

The soma that is in the tubs, that is placed within the filter,
that does the drop embrace.

This vs. seems to posit a distinction between two somas: one, called sóma-, that is in containers and on the filter and another, called índu- ‘drop’, that embraces / surrounds (pári ṣasvaje) the first. What distinguishes them is difficult to discern; Geldner suggests that the “nachrinnende” Soma is taken in by the pressed juice, but this doesn’t seem to make ritual sense, since the soma in the tubs and on the filter would already have been pressed as well.

Lüders, predictably, thinks the heavenly soma incorporates the earthly soma. Say identifies índu- as the god Soma (somo devaḥ). Of the various possibilities, Sāyaṇa’s seems the most plausible – that is, Soma the god encompasses all the forms that soma the substance takes in the course of ritual processing, though physically that substance is somewhat different at every stage. I also considered the possibility – given the occasional identification and frequent juxtaposition of índu- and índra- – that índu- here refers to Indra, and “embrace” is a metaphor for “drink, consume.” But I’d prefer to keep índu- separate from Indra.

In close embraces Indu holds Soma when
poured within the jars.
And on the. purifying sieve.

Der Soma, der in den Krügen auf die Seihe gesetzt ward, den hält der Saft umfangen.

Den Soma, der in Schalen, ruht, und welcher durch die Seihe rinnt, Nimmt Indu auf in seinen Arm.

Сома, который помещен
Внутри кувшинов, в цедилку, –
Его держит сок в обьятиях.

English translation:

“Indu emits a sound, abiding in the firmament of the sky, and delighting the nectar-shedding cloud.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Samudra and kośa = the water into which the Soma drops and the droṇakalaśa vessel

The drop sends forth his speech upon the surface of the sea,
quickening the cask dripping with honey.

The índu- here “sends forth his speech” (prá vā́cam … iṣyati), which supports an animate reading of índu- in the previous vs. Needless to say, Lüders has a heavenly interpr.: índu is the heavenly soma, the sea is the heavenly sea, and the kóśa- is the “Urquell im Himmel.” In the published introduction. I interpr. the sea as the soma in the vessel or the mixing water.

And the speech is presumably the speech of the ritual participants, prompted by the action of pressing the soma.

Indu sends forth a voice on high to regions of the sea of air,
Shaking the vase that drops with meath.

Der Saft entsendet seine Stimme auf der Höhe des Meeres, indem er die von Süßem überfließende Kufe belebt;

Und auf des Meeres Fläche hin, lässt Indu schallen seinen Sang, Erregt den methgefüllten Trog.

English translation:

“Soma, whose praise is eternal, the lord of forests, the shedder of nectar, and rejoicing the genitive rations of men, (is present) in the midst of our sacred rites.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

The genitive ration of men: mānuṣa yuga = the various sacrificial seasons, whether occupying one or many days

The lord of the forest who has praise as his own, yielding the juice of insights within (the filter),
propelling the human generations,

This vs. has no finite verb; I take it as a preamble to 8, in order to capture the play between the two forms of hinvānáḥ (7c, 8b).

When vánaspáti- (lit. ‘lord of the forest’) does not mean simply ‘tree’, it generally refers to the sacrificial post in the animal sacrifice, particularly when found in the Āprī hymns. The word is not found elsewhere in IX, except in the Āprī hymn IX.5.10, where it seems to have that reference. But here it must refer to soma. Since essentially all the plants that have been suggested as the source of soma are fairly insignificant physically, the use of vánaspáti- to refer to it must have seemed slightly comic (like calling a dandelion Lord of the Forest), but also a way of capturing the towering importance of the apparently lowly plant. The word is used of soma once elsewhere, I.91.6 (a soma hymn), in the phrase priyástotro vánaspátiḥ, almost identical to nítyastotro vánaspátiḥ, esp. because nítya- ‘own’ and priyá- ‘dear, own’ are near synonyms in some usages. The point, I think, is that Soma has first claim to praise.

On sabar- as ‘juice’, see EWA s.v. sabardúh- and Narten (YH 212). I construe the gen. pl. dhīnā́m with the first member of the cmpd. sabar-dúgha-: “… juice of insights.” I supply pavítre with antár on the basis of 5b antáḥ pavítre (cf. VIII.101.9). Geldner’s “unter Liedern” does not work because antár doesn’t take the gen., and though Renou’s “Arbres des intuitions” sounds imposing, it doesn’t make much sense. Oldenberg’s first interpr. of this pāda is close to mine, with dhīnā́m dependent on sabar-, though he takes antár as an adverb.

However, he considers the obvious solution to be to take dhīnā́m with antár, since the gen. is possible with antár in the later language. Since “within/amid the thoughts” isn’t a particularly compelling addition to the passage, I prefer my own (and Oldenberg’s first) solution.

The common med. part. hinvāná- can be both transitive and passive, in approx. equal numbers. In this vs. it is transitive, but in the next passive.

The Tree whose praises never fail yields heavenly milk among our hymns,
Urging men’s generations on.

Der eigene Loblieder hat, der Baum, der unter Liedern immer melkende, indem er die menschlichen Geschlechter anregt.

Der Pflanzenfürst, dem Lob gebührt, weilt in der nektarreichen Milch, Den Menschenstämmen holdgesinnt.

English translation:

“The sage Soma, urged from heaven, flows in a stream to the beloved abodes of his devout (worshipper).”

Being himself propelled, Soma rushes toward the dear tracks of heaven, the sage poet, with the stream of an inspired poet.

As noted just above, hinvāná- is used passively here, in contrast to the same form in 7c – here referring to the priestly impulsion given to the soma on its journey of purification.

The “tracks of heaven” are, in my view, the traces of the soma on the filter; see 10.9.

Pāda c is identical to IX.44.2c, where I do not construe víprasya with dhā́rayā but with something earlier in the vs. My reason there is that the dhā́rā- ‘stream’ is always otherwise only Soma’s, and so should not belong to the/a vípra-. But in our passage there is nowhere to construe víprasya but with dhā́rayā. I consider ad IX.44.2 the possibility that the pāda was borrowed thoughtlessly here. But there are several ways to make sense of our passage. If the dhā́rā- is Soma’s, the point may be that he is a kaví-, a sage, but he also has the fluency of an inspired poet, who simply pours out verbal eloquence, thus identifying Soma with both types of poet. This suggestion is supported by the next hymn, IX.13.2, where Soma is explicitly identified as a vípra-, as well as his parallel identification as vípra and kaví in IX.18.2. Or dhā́rā- can be used here metaphorically to refer to a stream of words.

The Wise One, with the Sage’s stream, the Soma urged to speed, flows on
To the dear places of the sky.

Zu den lieben Stätten des Himmels fließt Soma zur Eile getrieben, der Seher im Strome des Redekundigen.
