Soma Pavamāna’s purification as the sweet, rite-perfect exhilarant offered for Indra and for the sacrificer’s prosperity
एतमु त्यं मदच्युतं सहस्रधारं वृषभं दिवोदुहम् विश्वा वसूनि बिभ्रतम्
etamu tyaṃ madacyutaṃ sahasradhāraṃ vṛṣabhaṃ divoduham viśvā vasūni bibhratam
هذا حقًّا هو سوما ذاك، مُقطِّرُ النشوةِ المقدّسة، ذو الألفِ مجرى، الثورُ القويّ، حالِبُ السماء، حامِلٌ كلَّ الـvasu (الخيرات) إلى الـyajña—إيّاه نُنشِد ونُمجِّد.

{ "prastava": "(Typical) stobha-led opening such as ‘hā/ho/i’ may precede the first word; exact stobha not provided for this mantra.", "udgitha": "Core text from ‘etamu tyaṃ … bibhratam’ elongated per gāna rules; semantic peaks receive prolation.", "pratihara": "Responsive reprise of the main cadence (often around a key epithet such as sahasradhāra/vṛṣabha).", "upadrava": "After-song continuation tightening the cadence and preparing closure.", "nidhana": "Closing formulaic ending (often with prolonged vowel and communal unison).", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma practice, archika verses are expanded in gāna with stobhas and vowel-lengthening; without the specific gāna, only the standard fivefold mapping can be indicated.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana" }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is called madacyuta because it causes mada (exhilaration) to flow, chiefly for Indra; sahasradhāra refers to the many rivulets produced in straining; divoduh is taken as producing ‘divine/heavenly’ wealth and benefit for the sacrificer; ‘bearing all riches’ indicates its capacity to bring every desirable good to the rite.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse is mapped onto the visible purification: Soma’s flow through the pavitra is the ‘thousand streams’; its ‘bull’ power is its invigorating efficacy in the offering cycle.", "theological_insight": "Soma is both substance and deity: the same flow that becomes offering is the divine agency that generates prosperity and heavenly attainment.", "etymology_highlights": "madacyuta = madaṃ cyāvayati (makes exhilaration move/flow); sahasradhāra = many dhārās in the filter; divoduh = divyaṃ payaḥ/vasu ‘milked’ for the yajamāna" }
