त्वया वयं पवमानेन सोम भरे कृतं वि चिनुयाम शश्वत् तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः

हे पवमान सोम! तेरे द्वारा हम संग्राम/प्रयास में प्राप्त किए गए लाभ को सदा चुनते-बटोरते रहें। मित्र और वरुण हमें आहत न करें; न अदिति, न सिन्धु (जलधाराएँ), न पृथ्वी, और न ही द्यौ (स्वर्ग) हमें हानि पहुँचाएँ।

Pavamāna sāman (unspecified tune)
{ "prastava": "(flowing stobha prelude; often liquid ‘u/ho’ type in pavamāna families)", "udgitha": "tvayā vayaṃ pavamānena soma ...", "pratihara": "(response cadence)", "upadrava": "(after-song emphasizing ‘tan noḥ… mā amahantā…’)", "nidhana": "(collective closure sealing protection)", "structure_notes": "The protective deity-list is well-suited to upadrava repetition, functioning as a sonic ‘āvaraṇa’ (protective enclosure).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ / Udgātṛ / Pratihartṛ / Udgātṛ / all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa connects pavamāna with Soma filtered through the pavitra; bhare is the exertion/contest for securing wealth and sacrificial fruit; the closing deities are invoked so they do not harm the sacrificer—protecting the achieved gain.", "ritual_interpretation": "A Soma-rite consolidation chant: ensures that what is ‘won’ in the yajña is gathered and safeguarded, preventing adverse cosmic reaction.", "theological_insight": "Purification (pavamāna) is not merely cleansing but integration; harmony (Mitra), order (Varuṇa), and boundlessness (Aditi) together stabilize the fruit.", "etymology_highlights": "pavamāna from √pū/√pav ‘to purify/flow’; cinu from √ci ‘to gather’; amahantā from √mah/√amha sense ‘to injure/harm’ (as glossed in tradition)." }
