Sukta 14
Sukta 9.14
Soma Pavamāna
Is mantra mein Soma Pavamana ki tareef hai jo dho kar saaf ban gaya hai. Wo aasman ke paniyon par chalta hai jaise koi gyani rishi. Uske paas wahi shakti hai jo sacchi baat bolti hai aur sabko jagati hai. Wo dho dho kar chamakdaar ho gaya hai aur gaiyan jeeta hai. Gaiyan ka matlab hai roshni aur taqat. Ab use bulaya ja raha hai ki yajna karne wale ke paas aaye. Wo apne saath dhan aur khushiyan le kar aaye.

Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn praises Soma Pavamāna—Soma while being purified and made radiant as it flows through the filter in the Soma sacrifice.
