Sukta 84
Sukta 9.84
Ascribed in RV 9 to Pavāmāna seers (exact attribution for 9.84 not resolved from provided excerpt).
Soma Pavāmāna, with offerings directed toward Indra, Varuṇa, and Vāyu.
Likely Jagatī or Triṣṭubh (verify against full hymn).
Is mantra mein Som ko pakaya ja raha hai. Wo paani ke through ja ke saaf ho raha hai. Us saaf ras se Indra ko taakat milti hai. Varuna ke niyam ke saath bhi milta hai. Vayu usko le ke chalta hai. Kavi kehte hain Som jagah banao aur kalyan lao. Wo bijli jaisa tez hai. Suraj ko dhundhta hai aur dhan jeetta hai. Isse devta logon ko utsaah milta hai.
Mantras
Mantra 1
पवस्व देवमादनो विचर्षणिरप्सा इन्द्राय वरुणाय वायवे । कृधी नो अद्य वरिवः स्वस्तिमदुरुक्षितौ गृणीहि दैव्यं जनम् ॥
Apne aap ko saaf kar, devtaon ko khush kar. Paani mein rehta hai tu, bade chalne wala hai. Indra ke liye, Varun ke liye, Vayu ke liye. Aaj hamare liye jagah bana de, jahan sab theek rahe. Bade ghar mein devtaon ki janta ko utha.
Mantra 2
आ यस्तस्थौ भुवनान्यमर्त्यो विश्वानि सोमः परि तान्यर्षति । कृण्वन्त्संचृतं विचृतमभिष्टय इन्दुः सिषक्त्युषसं न सूर्यः ॥
Jo marata nahi, woh Soma duniya ke upar khada hai. Saari duniya ko gher leta hai woh. Bikhri hui cheezon ko jod ke ek kar deta hai hamare kaam ke liye. Chamakta hua Soma andar ka usha jaga deta hai, jaise suraj subah ko aasman mein laata hai.
Mantra 3
आ यो गोभिः सृज्यत ओषधीष्वा देवानां सुम्न इषयन्नुपावसुः । आ विद्युता पवते धारया सुत इन्द्रं सोमो मादयन्दैव्यं जनम् ॥
Jise kirnon ke saath choda jata hai, woh paudhon mein jaata hai. Devtaon ki khushi aage badhata hai, paas wali daulat ban ke. Soma bijli ki tarah tez bahata hai jab usse nichoda jata hai. Indra ko aur devtaon ki janta ko khush kar deta hai.
Mantra 4
एष स्य सोमः पवते सहस्रजिद्धिन्वानो वाचमिषिरामुषर्बुधम् । इन्दुः समुद्रमुदियर्ति वायुभिरेन्द्रस्य हार्दि कलशेषु सीदति ॥
Yeh Soma ras saaf ho raha hai. Yeh hazaron baar jeeta hai. Yeh bolne ki shakti deta hai, jaldi samajh aata hai aur subah jaga deta hai. Yeh chamakdaar ras hawa ke saath samundar ko uthata hai. Phir Indra ke dil mein paani ke bartan mein baith jaata hai.
Mantra 5
अभि त्यं गावः पयसा पयोवृधं सोमं श्रीणन्ति मतिभिः स्वर्विदम् । धनंजयः पवते कृत्व्यो रसो विप्रः कविः काव्येना स्वर्चनाः ॥
Kirnen us Soma ras mein doodh mila rahi hain. Yeh ras doodh ko badhata hai aur suraj ki duniya tak le jaata hai. Yeh dhan jeetne wala ras saaf ho raha hai, jo kaam karta hai. Rishi kavi apni soch se khud se chamakta hai.
