Sukta 54
Sukta 9.54
Soma Pavamāna
This short Pavamāna hymn praises Soma in the very act of purification, as the bright, ancient power whose “milk” (essence) is drawn out by tireless hands and made fit for the gods. Soma is acclaimed as standing above all worlds like the Sun, establishing luminous order, and is urged to flow for the gods’ delight, bringing strength (vāja) and abundance from the radiant “cows” (rays/wealth).
