Sukta 9.52
Soma Pavamāna
Is mantra mein naya nichoda hua Soma ko bulaya ja raha hai. Wo chamakte hue aur dhan laate hue filter ki taraf behta hai. Soma pujariyon ko purani sampatti aur taqat se gher leta hai. Wo apni den mein majboot hai aur hilta nahi. Soma hinsak dushman ko gira deta hai. Ant mein sau guna ya hazaar guna madad maangi hai. Soma ki barkat badhane ki prarthana hai.
Mantra 1
परि द्युक्षः सनद्रयिर्भरद्वाजं नो अन्धसा । सुवानो अर्ष पवित्र आ ॥
Soma, tum chamak ke hamare paas aao. Tum purana khazana lekar aao. Jab tumko nichoda jaata hai, tum hamare liye taakat lekar aao. Tum kapde se ho ke saaf ho aur bahne lago.
Mantra 2
तव प्रत्नेभिरध्वभिरव्यो वारे परि प्रियः । सहस्रधारो यात्तना ॥
Som ras purane raston se aata hai. Yeh wool ke strainer ke paas se guzarta hai. Hazaar dhaaraon mein bahata hua apna raasta chalata hai. Yeh pyaara hai aur apna kaam karta rehta hai.
Mantra 3
चरुर्न यस्तमीङ्खयेन्दो न दानमीङ्खय । वधैर्वधस्नवीङ्खय ॥
Som ras jaise achha bana hua prasad ho. Koi bhi use hila na sake. Jo tumpe haath uthayega, tum use gira doge. Tum dena mein koi kami nahi rakhte.
Mantra 4
नि शुष्ममिन्दवेषां पुरुहूत जनानाम् । यो अस्माँ आदिदेशति ॥
Som ras, un logon ki taakat ko zameen mein mila de. Jo log hamare khilaf bura sochtein hain. Jo humein nuksan pahunchaana chahte hain. Unki himmat tod de.
Mantra 5
शतं न इन्द ऊतिभिः सहस्रं वा शुचीनाम् । पवस्व मंहयद्रयिः ॥
Som ras, tumhari madad sau guna ho ya hazaar guna. Tum saaf ho aur humein bhi saaf karo. Humaare paas dhan aur khushaalai laao. Humein strong banao.
It asks Soma, freshly pressed, to flow to the filter (pavitra), become pure and shining, and bring strength (vāja) and wealth (rayi) to the worshippers.
It presents Soma as a protector: no one can reduce his gift, and his power can repel or subdue violent harm directed at the sacrificers.
It is a poetic way of asking for greatly multiplied support—many forms of aid, prosperity, and inner fullness arising from Soma’s purification and blessing.
