Rigveda
The ritual stones used to press the soma, treated as objects of blessing in the rite.
may the pressing-stones be auspicious;
the two pressing-stones have found their path as of a chariot;
let the swelling milk-cows low — may the two press-stones be yoked, the ornament of the sacrifice.
Sāmaveda
The stones used to press the Soma plant to release its juice.
O Adhvaryu, bring the Soma pressed with the stones to the filter;
O Soma, roaring, pressed with stones, pass through the wool filters of the sheep;
the manly one who has run swiftly, who has pressed Soma with the stones in the midst of the waters.
