Mantra 5
Soma Pavamāna’s purification through the pavitra (filter) and his enthronement as the life-giving, wealth-bestowing draught in the sacrifice
सोमः पवते जनिता मतीनां जनिता दिवो जनिता पृथिव्याः जनिताग्नेर्जनिता सूर्यस्य जनितेन्द्रस्य जनितोत विष्णोः
somaḥ pavate janitā matīnāṃ janitā divo janitā pṛthivyāḥ janitāgnerjanitā sūryasya janitendrasya janitota viṣṇoḥ

Soma s’écoule: le générateur des pensées sacrées; le générateur du ciel, le générateur de la terre; le générateur d’Agni, le générateur de Sūrya; le générateur d’Indra, et aussi de Viṣṇu.

Pavamāna-sāman (generic)
{ "prastava": "ō/hō (establishing the repetitive cell)", "udgitha": "somaḥ pavate janitā matīnāṃ | janitā divo janitā pṛthivyāḥ", "pratihara": "janitāgner janitā sūryasya", "upadrava": "janitendrasya janitota viṣṇoḥ", "nidhana": "ōm/hō (cadence)", "structure_notes": "The refrain-like ‘janitā’ is ideal for clear sectionalization: udgītha carries the first two generative claims; response and after-song complete the deity-list.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part Sāman roles; pratihāra highlights the mid-list to maintain antiphonal balance." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘janitā’ is taken as nimitta (instrumental cause) in the sacrificial order: Soma’s prominence in the rite ‘generates’ hymns and deities by enabling their manifestation and satisfaction through offering.", "ritual_interpretation": "Soma as principal oblation is the condition for the functioning of Agni (carrier), Sūrya (time/light), Indra (power), Viṣṇu (wide-striding order) within the yajña.", "theological_insight": "Causality is ritualized: the gods’ effective presence is ‘brought forth’ through Soma’s purified flow and offering.", "etymology_highlights": "janitā from √jan (to generate); pavate from √pū/√pav (to purify/flow); matī from √man (to think), ‘inspired thoughts’." }
