Sukta 9.24
Soma Pavamāna
Is mantra mein Soma ki tareef hai jo paani aur chhanni se tezi se guzarta hai. Soma apne aap ko saaf karta hai aur yagya ke liye taiyaar ho jata hai. Yeh prarthana hai ki Soma insaanon ko khush aur takatwar banaye. Soma sab logon ke liye jeet paaye. Uski chamak aur meethi ras se bura bolne wali baatein aur andhera door ho jaye.
Mantra 1
प्र सोमासो अधन्विषुः पवमानास इन्दवः । श्रीणाना अप्सु मृञ्जत ॥
Soma ke boond tez ho kar bah rahe hain. Yeh paani mein saaf ho rahe hain. Apne aap ko bhar ke, woh dharam ke kaam ke liye saaf ho rahe hain.
Mantra 2
अभि गावो अधन्विषुरापो न प्रवता यतीः । पुनाना इन्द्रमाशत ॥
Kirnein Soma ki taraf daud rahi hain, jaise paani neeche bahata hai. Apne aap ko saaf kar ke, woh Indra tak pahunch rahi hain. Indra mann ka malik hai.
Mantra 4
त्वं सोम नृमादनः पवस्व चर्षणीसहे । सस्निर्यो अनुमाद्यः ॥
Soma, tum insaanon ko khush karte ho. Apne aap ko saaf karke logon ke liye jeetna. Tum woh jeetne wale ho jo khushi ke peeche bhaagta hai aur mann ko aur zyada khushi deta hai.
Mantra 5
इन्दो यदद्रिभिः सुतः पवित्रं परिधावसि । अरमिन्द्रस्य धाम्ने ॥
Indu, jab patthar se nichoda jata hai to chhanni ke paas daura lagata hai. Tab tum Indra ke liye taiyaar ho jaate ho. Uski taakat hamare andar basane ke liye.
Mantra 7
शुचिः पावक उच्यते सोमः सुतस्य मध्वः । देवावीरघशंसहा ॥
Soma ko saaf aur chamakdar kehte hain. Yeh nichode hue meetha ras se banta hai. Bhagwanon ke liye yeh ek bahadur hai jo buri baatein khatam karta hai aur bhagwan ki jaan ko bachaata hai.
Soma Pavamāna—the pressed Soma juice as it flows and purifies itself through water and the ritual filter.
It means “self-purifying”: Soma is described as cleansing and clarifying himself as he streams through the waters and the strainer.
Purified Soma brings clarity and joy, strengthens people, supports the rite, and drives away harmful darkness and ill-speaking forces.
