Rishi Family

Soma Pavamāna dipanggil untuk mengalir melalui pavitra hingga tersucikan, menjadi terang dan paling manis-menggairahkan, sebagai persembahan yang menguatkan. Bagian-bagian persembahan diarahkan menurut urutan ritus kepada Indra dan Vāyu; sementara bingkai devavīti/Agni menandai pemanggilan para dewa melalui kidung dan persembahan yang didorong maju, sehingga para dewa “didatangkan” ke yajña dan sang pelaku memperoleh vāja—daya serta hadiah kemenangan.
