Devata

Soma Pavamāna

Este breve himno a Pavamāna alaba a Soma en el mismo acto de la purificación, como el poder brillante y antiguo cuya «leche» (esencia) es extraída por manos incansables y hecha apta para los dioses. Se proclama que Soma está por encima de todos los mundos como el Sol, estableciendo un orden luminoso, y se le insta a fluir para el deleite de los dioses, trayendo fuerza (vāja) y abundancia desde las «vacas» radiantes (rayos/riqueza).
