SV 2 8212.1

आ सोम सवानो अद्रिभिस्तिरो वाराण्यव्यया । जनो न पुरि चम्वोर्विशद्धरिः सदो वनेषु दध्रिषे

ā soma savāno adribhistiro vārāṇyavyayā | jano na puri camvorviśaddhariḥ sado vaneṣu dadhriṣe

O Soma, being pressed by the stones, (flowing) across the sheep's-wool filters, like a man into a stronghold, the tawny one has entered the two cups; you have made your seat in the wooden vessels.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Expressed by stones, O Soma, and urged through the long wool of the sheep, Thou, entering the press-boards, even as men a fort, goldbued, hast settled in the vats.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 2 8212.2

स मामृजे तिरो अण्वानि मेष्यो मीड्वान्त्सप्तिर्न वाजयुः । अनुमाद्यः पवमानो मनीषिभिः सोमो विप्रेभिरृक्वभिः

sa māmṛje tiro aṇvāni meṣyo mīḍvāntsaptirna vājayuḥ | anumādyaḥ pavamāno manīṣibhiḥ somo viprebhirṛkvabhiḥ

He has been cleansed across the fine strands of the ewe('s fleece), bountiful, like a prize-seeking team-horse — the self-purifying Soma, to be acclaimed by the thoughtful, by the inspired singers of verses.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

He beautifies himself through the sheep's long fine wool, the bounteous, like the racing steed, Even Soma Pavamana who shall be the joy of sages and of holy bards.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
