Mantra 3
Pavamāna Soma’s ancient, heaven-derived flow—pressed, purified, and offered—bringing Indra’s epiphany and prosperity to the sacrificer
अध यदिमे पवमान रोदसी इमा च विश्वा भुवनाभि मज्मना यूथे न निष्ठा वृषभो वि राजसि
adha yadime pavamāna rodasī imā ca viśvā bhuvanābhi majmanā yūthe na niṣṭhā vṛṣabho vi rājasi
adha yad ime pavamāna rodasī imā ca viśvā bhuvanābhi majmanā | yūthe na niṣṭhā vṛṣabho vi rājasi
Und wenn diese Ströme, o reinigender Soma (Pavamāna), durch ihre Größe die beiden Welten und alle Wesen umfangen, dann leuchtest du hervor, wie ein Stier, der fest inmitten der Herde steht, in offenbarer Pracht.
adha | yat | ime | pavamāna | rodasī | imā | ca | viśvā | bhuvanā | abhi | majmanā | yūthe | na | niṣṭhāḥ | vṛṣabhaḥ | vi | rājasi
