Sukta 33
Sukta 9.33
Soma-Pavamāna seer tradition (exact rishi uncertain in provided input).
Soma Pavamāna (plural streams).
Likely Gāyatrī or Triṣṭubh depending on hymn structure; needs verification from full sukta metrical pattern.
Ce bref hymne à Pavamāna loue Soma dans ses nombreux courants ruisselants, lorsqu’il est purifié et mis en mouvement comme les vagues de l’eau, et qu’il s’élance avec force tel des taureaux. Il relie le rite extérieur de la filtration et de la libation à l’illumination intérieure — l’énergie « fauve » de Soma, l’essor de la parole inspirée et l’octroi d’une vaste abondance quadruple.
Mantras
Mantra 1
प्र सोमासो विपश्चितोऽपां न यन्त्यूर्मयः । वनानि महिषा इव ॥
En avant vont les puissances du Soma, clairvoyantes, telles les vagues des eaux ; tels de grands taureaux, elles poussent à travers les forêts.
Mantra 2
अभि द्रोणानि बभ्रवः शुक्रा ऋतस्य धारया । वाजं गोमन्तमक्षरन् ॥
Vers les cuves se sont répandus les flots fauves et brillants — dans le courant du Ṛta ; ils distillent le vāja, la plénitude de force, riche de gó (rayons/connaissance).
Mantra 3
सुता इन्द्राय वायवे वरुणाय मरुद्भ्यः । सोमा अर्षन्ति विष्णवे ॥
Pressés, les flots de Soma coulent vers Indra et Vāyu, vers Varuṇa et les Maruts ; ils coulent aussi vers Viṣṇu.
Mantra 4
तिस्रो वाच उदीरते गावो मिमन्ति धेनवः । हरिरेति कनिक्रदत् ॥
Trois paroles s’élèvent ; les Vaches‑Rayons mugissent comme des laitières ; et Hari s’avance, clamant à haute voix.
Mantra 5
अभि ब्रह्मीरनूषत यह्वीॠतस्य मातरः । मर्मृज्यन्ते दिवः शिशुम् ॥
Vers lui se pressent, en louange, les paroles sacrées ; les puissantes Mères du Ṛta purifient et polissent l’Enfant du Ciel.
Mantra 6
रायः समुद्राँश्चतुरोऽस्मभ्यं सोम विश्वतः । आ पवस्व सहस्रिणः ॥
Ô Soma, de toutes parts purifie-toi vers nous, apportant les quatre océans de richesse, mille fois en plénitude.
