Devata

Soma Pavamāna

Este breve himno a Soma Pavamāna alaba a Soma cuando fluye en corrientes ininterrumpidas a través del filtro, como la lluvia que desciende del cielo, avanzando hacia una fuerza abundante (vāja). A medida que el jugo es purificado y «pulido», Soma es concebido como regio, observante de la ley y veloz como un halcón que se posa sobre un tesoro; se le pide que traiga a los adoradores todas las riquezas del cielo y de la tierra.
