Sukta 9.93
Soma Pavamāna (Hari/Indu)
Is mantra mein Soma ki tareef hai jab wo saaf hota hai. Wo tez ghode ki tarah daudta hai aur chamakta hai. Behne wali shaktiyan Soma ko chamkati hain aur use taiyaar karti hain. Iske baad Soma dhan aur taqat deta hai. Jo log Soma ki tareef karte hain unko aasani milti hai. Yeh mantra Soma ko bulata hai ki wo humein samriddhi de.
Mantras
Mantra 1
साकमुक्षो मर्जयन्त स्वसारो दश धीरस्य धीतयो धनुत्रीः । हरिः पर्यद्रवज्जाः सूर्यस्य द्रोणं ननक्षे अत्यो न वाजी ॥
Behnein milkar us bail ko saaf kar rahi hain. Das log hain jo dhanush leke khade hain, jo pakke iraade wale hain. Woh peela rang ka hai, Suraj se paida hua, aur daudta hai. Woh paani ke kund tak pahunchta hai jaise tez ghora daudta hai.
Mantra 2
सं मातृभिर्न शिशुर्वावशानो वृषा दधन्वे पुरुवारो अद्भिः । मर्यो न योषामभि निष्कृतं यन्त्सं गच्छते कलश उस्रियाभिः ॥
Woh bachche ki tarah hai jo apni maan ke paas jaana chahta hai. Woh bail paani ke saath chal pada hai, uske paas bahut kuch hai. Woh jawan ladke ki tarah hai jo ladki ke paas jaata hai, jahan sab taiyaar hai. Woh matke mein chamakti dhaaraon ke saath aa milta hai.
Mantra 3
उत प्र पिप्य ऊधरघ्न्याया इन्दुर्धाराभिः सचते सुमेधाः । मूर्धानं गावः पयसा चमूष्वभि श्रीणन्ति वसुभिर्न निक्तैः ॥
Yeh Som ras gaay ka doodh badha deta hai, woh gaay jo kabhi kharab nahi hui. Yeh boond bahut samajhdar hai, paani ke saath saath chalti hai. Gaayein katoron mein doodh se iska sir malte hain, jaise koi khazana dho ke saaf kiya ho, isme chamak aur taakat bhar deti hain.
Mantra 4
स नो देवेभिः पवमान रदेन्दो रयिमश्विनं वावशानः । रथिरायतामुशती पुरंधिरस्मद्र्यगा दावने वसूनाम् ॥
Hey Indu, tu paani jaisa saaf ho, deviyon ke saath hamein paisa de. Woh paisa jaldi aaye, chamke, aur humara dil maange. Jo bhi sachcha khazana baatne ka time aaye, woh khushi bharke hamare paas aaye.
Mantra 5
नू नो रयिमुप मास्व नृवन्तं पुनानो वाताप्यं विश्वश्चन्द्रम् । प्र वन्दितुरिन्दो तार्यायुः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात् ॥
Abhi le aa woh paisa jismein taakat ho, tu jo saaf kar raha hai. Yeh taaza hawa jaisa hai, sabko chamakata hai. Jo log teri tarif karte hain, woh zindagi mein aage nikal jaayein. Subah jaldi hi woh samajhdar aur amir banke pahunch jaayein.
