Mantra 3
Pavamāna Soma’s self-purification through the waters and filter, emerging as the radiant king who empowers the rite and grants prosperity

અગ્રગામી રાજા નિશ્ચયે સ્તુતિને યોગ્ય છે; દિવસોના માપક, લોકોમાં સ્થાપિત. હરિ, ઘૃત સમૃદ્ધિ ઝરાવતો, દર્શનિય, પ્રચુર પ્રવાહ સમ અર્ણવ; જ્યોતિ-રથવાળો, પોતાને પવિત્ર કરે છે—ધન માટે, ગૃહ માટે.
