Sukta 9.96

Devata: Soma Pavamāna

अपघ्नन्नेषि पवमान शत्रून्प्रियां न जारो अभिगीत इन्दुः । सीदन्वनेषु शकुनो न पत्वा सोमः पुनानः कलशेषु सत्ता ॥

apághnann eṣi pavamāna śátrūn priyā́ṃ na jā́ro abhígīta índuḥ | sī́dan váneṣu śakunó na patvā́ sómaḥ punānáḥ kalaśéṣu sattā́ ||

હે પવમાન, તું શત્રુઓને ઘાયલ કરતો આગળ વધે છે; પ્રિયાએ ગાયેલો જારો જેમ, તેમ તેજસ્વી ઇન્દુ સ્તુતિથી અભિગીત થાય છે. વનમાં પક્ષી ઉડી આવી બેસે તેમ, શુદ્ધ થતો સોમ લાકડાના પાત્રોમાં સ્થિર થઈ કલશો માં આસન ગ્રહણ કરે છે.
