Soma Pavamāna

This short Pavamāna Soma hymn invokes Soma as he is purified through the filter, celebrated as an all-conquering power who wins vitality, abundance, and joy for the sacrificer. It asks Soma to bring a progeny-rich treasure, to help the worshipper cross all hardships, and to seat his inspired, poetic intelligence within the rite and within the inner altar of consciousness.
