Mantra 11
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification and enthronement in ṛta through the waters and the filter (pavitra), yielding wealth and ritual power
पवस्व वाजसातमो ऽभि विश्वानि वार्या त्वं समुद्रः प्रथमे विधर्मं देवेभ्यं सोम मत्सरः
pavasva vājasātamo 'bhi viśvāni vāryā tvaṃ samudraḥ prathame vidharmaṃ devebhyaṃ soma matsaraḥ

تطهَّرْ يا سوما، يا أسمى واهبِ القوّة، نحوَ كلِّ العطايا المرغوبة؛ أنتَ بحرٌ؛ وفي العصرِ الأوّل تُقيمُ الـvidharma المعيَّنَ للآلهة—يا شرابَ النشوةِ، matsaraḥ.

In performance, key vocables (stobhas) typically frame the opening and cadence, while the core RV text is distributed across udgītha and upadrava with responsorial pratihāra.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ begins (prastāva), Udgātṛ carries the main melodic body (udgītha, upadrava), Pratihartṛ responds (pratihāra), and the finale (nidhana) is commonly joined/confirmed by the choir per śrauta practice." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is commanded to purify and flow, granting strength and desirable goods; he is ‘ocean-like’ and, in the first pressing, upholds the fixed sacrificial order for the gods; he is the exhilarating drink.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘prathame’ = prātaḥ-savana (first pressing). ‘vidharma’ = the prescribed sacrificial procedure/sequence maintained by correct Soma preparation and offering.", "theological_insight": "Soma is not only a substance but the principle that makes the gods manifest and receptive through orderly rite; exhilaration is sanctified when aligned with vidhi/ṛta.", "etymology_highlights": "matsara: that which causes exhilaration/rapture; vidharma: vi- + dharma, the established distribution/ordering of dharma in ritual." }
