हे पवमान सोम! तेरी मधुर, मधु-रस से भरी धाराएँ आगे-आगे बह निकलीं; जब तू शुद्ध होकर ऊनी छन्ने (अव्य) के पार निकल जाता है। शुद्धि करता हुआ तू गो-धन के धाम/आसन की ओर प्रवाहित होता है, गौओं (समृद्धि) को उत्पन्न करता है; स्तुतियों (अर्क) से बल पाकर तू यज्ञ को तेज से परिपूर्ण करता है।

Pavamāna-sāman (generic)
{ "prastava": "o/hā… establishing the ‘flow’", "udgitha": "pra te dhārā madhumatīrasṛgran… (main outflow narration)", "pratihara": "ho… (response after ‘avyām’)", "upadrava": "pavamāna pavase dhāma gonāṃ… (arrival + prosperity)", "nidhana": "janayantsūryamapinvo arkaiḥ (illumination + hymn-strengthened closure)", "structure_notes": "The semantic climax is ‘sūryam’; placing it in nidhana gives a luminous finality.", "singer_assignments": "Standard udgātṛ group; nidhana in unified tone to ‘seal’ the solar fullness." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Honeyed streams of Soma flow forth; purified, it passes beyond the woollen strainer (vāra/avyā) to the receptacle/station (dhāma). It generates ‘go’ (cattle/wealth) and fills with ‘sūrya’—brilliance—being strengthened by hymns (arkaiḥ).", "ritual_interpretation": "Maps to the clarified Soma’s movement from filter to collection point; prosperity and radiance are stated as yajña-phala accompanying correct processing and praise.", "theological_insight": "Sound (arka) participates in manifestation: hymn strengthens Soma, and Soma in turn manifests wealth and light under ṛta.", "etymology_highlights": "vāra—strainer; dhāma—abode/station; arka—hymn/shine; sūrya—radiance (often glossed as tejas)." }
