Mantra 3
Soma Pavamāna’s purification through the pavitra (filter) and his enthronement as the life-giving, wealth-bestowing draught in the sacrifice
तिस्रो वाच ईरयति प्र वह्निरृतस्य धीतिं ब्रह्मणो मनीषाम् गावो यन्ति गोपतिं पृच्छमानाः सोमं यन्ति मतयो वावशानाः
tisro vāca īrayati pra vahnirṛtasya dhītiṃ brahmaṇo manīṣām gāvo yanti gopatiṃ pṛcchamānāḥ somaṃ yanti matayo vāvaśānāḥ

يُطْلِقُ أَنْوَاعَ vāc (الكَلِمَة/النُّطْق) الثَّلَاثَة؛ وَحَامِلُ (الشَّعِيرَة/الطَّقْس) يُقَدِّمُ dhīti لِـṛta، وَmanīṣā لِـbrahman. تَمْضِي الأَبْقَارُ، سَائِلَةً، إِلَى gopati سَيِّدِ القَطِيع؛ وَتَمْضِي الخَوَاطِرُ المُتَلَهِّفَةُ إِلَى Soma.

{ "gloss_summary": "Soma sends forth the threefold speech; the bearer advances ṛta’s thought and brahman’s insight. Cows, asking, go to the lord of cattle; eager thoughts go to Soma.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Three voices’ explained as a triad of ritual utterance/chanting modalities within the sacrifice; ṛtasya dhīti as correct ritual intention; cows as rays/offerings/senses moving toward their lord; matayaḥ as intentions directed to Soma.", "theological_insight": "Right speech is a ritual power: when vāc is properly deployed, it carries ṛta and brahman and draws all faculties toward Soma, the clarifier.", "etymology_highlights": "vahni: carrier/leader (often of offerings); manīṣā: reflective insight; vāvaśānāḥ: yearning, eager, desirous." }
