Sukta 94

Sukta 9.94

Devata

Soma Pavamāna (the purifying Soma)

Is mantra mein Soma ki tareef hai jab wo paani aur oon se saaf hota hai. Soma ko kavi bola gaya hai jo sab jagah gyan le jata hai. Isme naye khayal aur samajh ka zikr hai jo milkar ek jagah jud jate hain. Soma devtaon mein izzat deta hai aur upaasak ko dhan deta hai. Ant mein Soma se khana, roshni aur khushi maangi gayi hai. Dushman taakat ko door bhagane ki bhi praarthana hai.

Mantras

Mantra 1

अधि यदस्मिन्वाजिनीव शुभः स्पर्धन्ते धियः सूर्ये न विशः । अपो वृणानः पवते कवीयन्व्रजं न पशुवर्धनाय मन्म ॥

Jab is Som mein sochne ki taakatein bhag-daud karti hain, jaise race mein ghode daude. Log sooraj ki taraf bhaage, waise hi yahan bhi. Yeh paani chunta hai, saaf hota hai, aur rishi jaisa ban jaata hai. Isse andar ki shaktiyan badhti hain, dimaag sahi kaam karta hai.

Mantra 2

द्विता व्यूर्ण्वन्नमृतस्य धाम स्वर्विदे भुवनानि प्रथन्त । धियः पिन्वानाः स्वसरे न गाव ऋतायन्तीरभि वावश्र इन्दुम् ॥

Yeh do tarah se amartva ka ghar dikhata hai, ek toh yahan, ek upar. Aasman dhundne wale ke liye duniya khul jaati hai. Sochein jaise gaayein chara mein khush hoke bolte hain, waise hi yeh sochein sahi raaste pe chalke us chamakte boond ke paas bhaagti hain.

Mantra 3

परि यत्कविः काव्या भरते शूरो न रथो भुवनानि विश्वा । देवेषु यशो मर्ताय भूषन्दक्षाय रायः पुरुभूषु नव्यः ॥

Jab koi rishi apni kavya ki shakti failata hai, woh ek bahadur yoddha ki tarah hai jiska rath saari duniya mein ghoomta hai. Woh devtaon ke beech mein logon ke liye badai paida karta hai. Jo insaan sahi kaam karne ki takat rakhta hai, uske liye nayi-nayi sampatti aati hai.

Mantra 4

श्रिये जातः श्रिय आ निरियाय श्रियं वयो जरितृभ्यो दधाति । श्रियं वसाना अमृतत्वमायन्भवन्ति सत्या समिथा मितद्रौ ॥

Yeh shakti chamak ke liye paida hui hai aur chamak ki taraf badhti hai. Gaanewale logon ko woh urdi deti hai jaise pakshi udta hai. Chamak ko pehen ke yeh log amar ho jaate hain. Woh sachche ho jaate hain aur saath mein jalte rehte hain.

Mantra 5

इषमूर्जमभ्यर्षाश्वं गामुरु ज्योतिः कृणुहि मत्सि देवान् । विश्वानि हि सुषहा तानि तुभ्यं पवमान बाधसे सोम शत्रून् ॥

Hamare paas aao aur khana-shakti lao. Ghoda aur gaay bhi lao. Chamak phailao aur devtaon ko khush karo. Tum sab kuchh sahan kar sakte ho isliye dushman logon ko peeche dhakelo.
