Sukta 9.55

Devata

Soma Pavamāna

Este breve himno a Pavamāna invoca a Soma como la esencia que fluye una y otra vez y se purifica por sí misma, trayendo al sacrificante alimento, prosperidad y bienestar completo. Se pide a Soma que se lance velozmente con su poder vigorizante, que revele las «vacas» (rayos/riqueza) y los «caballos» (energías), y que se convierta en una fuerza inconquistable que derrota a los adversarios internos y externos.
