Sukta 9.35
Soma Pavamāna
Is mantra mein Pavamana Soma ko bulaya ja raha hai. Soma ko shudh ho kar tez dhaara mein bahne ko kaha gaya hai. Woh yagya karne walon ke paas aata hai aur unko dhan deta hai. Soma Indu aage badhne wali taakat hai. Yeh rishi ko jeet ke liye taiyaar karta hai. Soma apne shudh karne ke vachan se sab jeevon ko dharam mein sthir karta hai.
Mantra 1
आ नः पवस्व धारया पवमान रयिं पृथुम् । यया ज्योतिर्विदासि नः ॥
Hey Pavamana, hamare paas aa ke beho. Tum apni dhar ke saath aao. Tum bahut saara dhan aur shakti lao. Tumhi se humein roshni milti hai.
Mantra 2
इन्दो समुद्रमीङ्खय पवस्व विश्वमेजय । रायो धर्ता न ओजसा ॥
Hey Indu, tum samundar ko hila do. Tum beho aur sab cheezon ko jaaga do. Tumhari taakat se hum dhan ko utha lete hain.
Mantra 3
त्वया वीरेण वीरवोऽभि ष्याम पृतन्यतः । क्षरा णो अभि वार्यम् ॥
Tumhari shakti ke saath hum bhi bahadur ban jaate hain. Hum ladne walo par jeet jaate hain. Tum hamare upar sabse accha khazana baha do.
Mantra 4
प्र वाजमिन्दुरिष्यति सिषासन्वाजसा ऋषिः । व्रता विदान आयुधा ॥
Soma aage badh raha hai taakat ki taraf. Rishi bhi yehi chahta hai, isliye woh taiyaar ho raha hai. Woh niyam samajhta hai aur kaam ke liye ready hai.
Mantra 5
तं गीर्भिर्वाचमीङ्खयं पुनानं वासयामसि । सोमं जनस्य गोपतिम् ॥
Hum Soma ko apne gaanon se dhak dete hain. Yeh Soma sabko saaf karta hai aur shabd ko chalata hai. Hum use logon ka rakshak bana dete hain.
Mantra 6
विश्वो यस्य व्रते जनो दाधार धर्मणस्पतेः । पुनानस्य प्रभूवसोः ॥
Sab log uske niyam mein rehte hain. Yeh dharam ka malik hai jo sabko saaf karta hai. Uske paas sab kuch hai.
The hymn praises Soma Pavamāna—Soma as he is being purified and made luminous while flowing through the filter during the Soma rite.
It asks Soma to flow to the worshippers bringing broad rayi (plenitude/prosperity) and to help them know jyotis (Light), along with strength for successful action.
Because Soma’s purification is seen as establishing right order: his ‘vow’ (vrata) supports beings in a lawful pattern of life, so abundance and power arise in harmony with dharma.
