Sukta 9.9
Soma (Pavamāna)
Is mantra mein Soma ki tareef hai jo daba ke nikla hai aur bah raha hai. Soma ek chamakta hua gyan shakti hai jo do duniya mein ghoomta hai. Isko saaf karne ke baad ye devtaon ke layak ho jata hai. Soma ki saaf dhaara bolne ki shakti aur sahi niyam se judi hai. Indra ki jeet ka kanoon bhi isme hai. Ant mein aise shakti, buddhi aur naam kamane ki dua hai.
