Rig Veda 9.21.4: Mandala 9, Sukta 21, Mantra 4

Sukta 9.21

Devata: Soma Pavamana

एते विश्वानि वार्या पवमानास आशत । हिता न सप्तयो रथे ॥

eté víśvāni vā́ryā pávamānāsa āśata | hitā́ ná saptáyo rathé ||

ये पवमान सोम समस्त वरणीय (इच्छित) निधियों को प्राप्त करते हैं; रथ में जुते हुए सात अश्वों के समान, नियत व्यवस्था में स्थित होकर वे सामर्थ्य से अग्रसर होते हैं—इस प्रकार शुद्धीकृत आनन्द-शक्तियाँ प्राणी को उसके अभिलषित पूर्णत्व की ओर सीधा ले जाती हैं।
