Mantra 1
Soma Pavamāna’s purification as the sweet, rite-perfect exhilarant offered for Indra and for the sacrificer’s prosperity
पवस्व मधुमत्तम इन्द्राय सोम क्रतुवित्तमो मदः महि द्युक्षतमो मदः
pavasva madhumattama indrāya soma kratuvittamo madaḥ mahi dyukṣatamo madaḥ
Purifie-toi, ô Soma, le plus doux, pour Indra ; tu es l’ivresse la plus experte du rite sacré (kratu), la grande, l’ivresse la plus resplendissante.
