Mantras
Mantra 1
प्र कविर्देववीतयेऽव्यो वारेभिरर्षति । साह्वान्विश्वा अभि स्पृधः ॥
Yeh rishi devtaon ke liye bah raha hai. Soma ko bhed ke oon se saaf kiya ja raha hai. Yeh sab rukawaton ko paar kar ke chalta hai.

Mantra 3
परि विश्वानि चेतसा मृशसे पवसे मती । स नः सोम श्रवो विदः ॥
Soma tum sab cheezon ke paas jaate ho, apni soch se. Tum saaf karte ho, hamare khayalon ko bhi theek karte ho. He Soma, hamare liye woh kamyabi laao jo log sun sakein aur sach fail sakein.
Mantra 4
अभ्यर्ष बृहद्यशो मघवद्भ्यो ध्रुवं रयिम् । इषं स्तोतृभ्य आ भर ॥

Mantra 5
त्वं राजेव सुव्रतो गिरः सोमा विवेशिथ । पुनानो वह्ने अद्भुत ॥
Soma, tum aise ho jaise accha raja hota hai. Tum un gaano mein aa jaate ho jo log bhagwan ke liye gaate hain. Tum khud ko saaf karte ho, ek ajab taakat ban jaate ho jo hamari puja aage le jaata hai.

स वह्निरप्सु दुष्टरो मृज्यमानो गभस्त्योः । सोमश्चमूषु सीदति ॥

क्रीळुर्मखो न मंहयुः पवित्रं सोम गच्छसि । दधत्स्तोत्रे सुवीर्यम् ॥
Soma, tum apni taakat ke saath khelte ho, puja mein lage rehte ho. Tum saaf karne wale paani ke paas jaate ho. Gaano mein himmat bhar dete ho, taaki andar ki ladai mein jeet mile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Soma Pavamāna is Soma as he is being purified—flowing through the ritual filter—so he becomes fit for the gods and powerful for the sacrificer.
The woolen filter (pavitra/avya) is the key ritual instrument that clarifies Soma; the hymn uses it as a symbol of purification that turns raw force into luminous, beneficial power.
It asks for victory over opposition, steadfast prosperity (dhruva rayi), nourishing increase (iṣ), and heroic strength (suvīrya) that empowers both life and sacred speech.
