Sukta 46
Sukta 9.46
Soma Pavamāna
Ye mantra Soma ke liye hai jo dhoti hui pavitri mein tezi se bahata hai. Wo devtaon ke liye jaldi se jata hai aur usme chamakdamak badh jati hai. Hum Soma ko churning stick se pakadte hain aur use milk ke saath milate hain. Ye sab karke hum use Indra ke liye taiyaar karte hain. Isse yagya mein taakat aati hai aur mann saaf ho jata hai. Soma apni pavitri ke baad ekdam chamakdar ho jata hai.
