Traditionally: Soma Pavamāna hymns are attributed to various seers; specific ascription for RV 9.44 varies by recension/Anukramaṇī (commonly from the Pavamāna collections).

Devata

Soma Pavamāna (purifying Soma/Indu)

Chandas

Likely Jagatī/Triṣṭubh-family meter typical of Pavamāna sections; exact chandas should be verified against the Anukramaṇī for RV 9.44.1.

Is mantra mein Soma ko bulaya ja raha hai. Wo pavitri ho kar bah raha hai. Uske saath jeevan ki ek lahar aati hai. Wo devtaon ke paas ja raha hai. Unhe yahan aane ka nimantpan karta hai. Yeh ek sundar yagya hai. Soma ko aasana sthapit karne ko kaha gaya hai. Wo bal, sahi marg aur bada naam deta hai.

Frequently Asked Questions

The hymn praises Soma Pavamāna—Soma as he is being purified and flowing through the filter (pavitra), moving toward the gods as the sacred offering.

It asks Soma to purify and strengthen the sacrifice, invite the gods to be present, and grant wealth, vigor/victory (vāja), right guidance, and wide fame (bṛhat śravas).

The wave image highlights Soma’s powerful, surging flow during purification and suggests an inner meaning too: clarified energy and consciousness rising and spreading through the being.
