Sukta 9.55
Soma Pavamāna
Is mantra mein Som ko bulaya ja raha hai jo baar baar bahata hai aur khud ko saaf karta hai. Yeh Som yajna karne wale ke liye khana, dhan aur achhi zindagi laata hai. Mantra kehta hai ki Som jaldi se aaye aur taqat de. Som ko kaha gaya hai ki woh gaay aur ghode dikhaye, matlab dhan aur urja. Woh aisa banega ki koi use hara nahi sakega. Yeh andar aur bahar ke dushmano ko harayega.
Mantra 1
यवंयवं नो अन्धसा पुष्टम्पुष्टं परि स्रव । सोम विश्वा च सौभगा ॥
Soma, baar-baar hamare paas aa. Apni taakat aur badha ke le kar aa. Har tarah ki khushi aur kamyabi de. Hamari zindagi mein poora sukh bhar de.
Mantra 2
इन्दो यथा तव स्तवो यथा ते जातमन्धसः । नि बर्हिषि प्रिये सदः ॥
Indu, teri mahima jaisi hai, teri taakat utni hi hai. Aaja, pyare ghaas par baith ja. Hamare mann mein apni jagah bana le.
Mantra 3
उत नो गोविदश्ववित्पवस्व सोमान्धसा । मक्षूतमेभिरहभिः ॥
Soma, hamare liye bhi saaf ho. Roshni aur taakat dhundh ke la. Jaldi se aa, din jaldi nikal rahe hain. Hamari tarakki mein roshni aur taakat badha.
Mantra 4
यो जिनाति न जीयते हन्ति शत्रुमभीत्य । स पवस्व सहस्रजित् ॥
Woh jeetta hai aur koi use nahi jeet sakta. Woh dushman pe chahta hai aur dar nahi lagta. Aise hi saaf ho ja, hazaron baar jeetne wale. Tu hamare andar aisi taakat ban ja jo kabhi haare nahi.
This sukta praises Soma as Pavamāna—Soma in the act of being purified and flowing through the filter during the Soma ritual.
It asks for repeated nourishment and increase (puṣṭi), complete good fortune (saubhaga), swift forward progress, and victory over enemies or obstacles.
In Vedic symbolism, “cows” often suggest rays of light or wealth, and “horses” suggest energies or powers of action—Soma is invoked as the finder and giver of both.
