9.74.7

śve̱taṁ rū̱paṁ kṛ̍ṇute̱ yat siṣā̍sati̱ somo̍ mī̱ḍhvām̐ asu̍ro veda̱ bhūma̍naḥ |
dhi̱yā śamī̍ sacate̱ sem a̱bhi pra̱vad di̱vas kava̍ndha̱m ava̍ darṣad u̱driṇa̍m ||

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 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
