Mantra 2
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification through the filter as life-giving, rain-bestowing, and disease-removing power in the yajña
तया पवस्व धारया यया गाव इहागमन् जन्यास उप नो गृहम्
tayā pavasva dhārayā yayā gāva ihāgaman janyāsa upa no gṛham
Läutere dich mit jenem Strom, mit dem die Kühe hierher kamen, und auch die Menschen zu unserem Haus.

{ "gloss_summary": "The ‘stream’ is ritually filtered Soma; ‘cows’ and ‘people’ are standard yajña-phala—wealth and followers—drawn to the sacrificer’s house by Soma’s efficacy.", "ritual_interpretation": "Chanted in the context of Soma purification/handling to invoke prosperity and social strength for the yajamāna.", "theological_insight": "Soma’s purity is productive: it does not merely cleanse but attracts and organizes blessings into the household order.", "etymology_highlights": "dhārā as continuous flow; gṛha as the settled seat of prosperity; gāvaḥ as wealth-signifier in Vedic idiom." }
