Sukta 9.33
Soma-Pavamāna seer tradition (exact rishi uncertain in provided input).
Soma Pavamāna (plural streams).
Likely Gāyatrī or Triṣṭubh depending on hymn structure; needs verification from full sukta metrical pattern.
この短いパヴァマーナ讃歌は、浄められつつ多くの流れとなって奔り出るソーマを讃える。水の波のようにうねり、牡牛のごとく力強く押し進む。濾過と灌奠という外的な祭式は内なる照明と結び付けられ、ソーマの「黄褐色」の力、霊感に満ちた言葉の立ち上がり、そして広大で四重の豊穣の授与が語られる。
Mantra 1
प्र सोमासो विपश्चितोऽपां न यन्त्यूर्मयः । वनानि महिषा इव ॥
ソーマの諸力は前へと進む、明晰にして洞察に富み、水の波のように。大いなる牡牛のごとく、われらの本性の森を押し分けてゆく。
Mantra 2
अभि द्रोणानि बभ्रवः शुक्रा ऋतस्य धारया । वाजं गोमन्तमक्षरन् ॥
褐金に輝く流れは、槽へと注ぎ入り、ṛta(宇宙の正理)の流れに乗って進む。そこから滴り落ちるのは、光と知見に富む力の満ち満ちた豊穣である。
Mantra 3
सुता इन्द्राय वायवे वरुणाय मरुद्भ्यः । सोमा अर्षन्ति विष्णवे ॥
搾り出されたソーマの流れは、インドラとヴァーユへ、ヴァルナとマルトたちへと流れゆく。さらにヴィシュヌへも流れゆく——正しい力、広大さ、秩序ある真理として。
Mantra 4
तिस्रो वाच उदीरते गावो मिमन्ति धेनवः । हरिरेति कनिक्रदत् ॥
三つの言葉が立ち上がる。光の群れは乳牛のように鳴き、褐金のものは進みゆき、叫び声をあげる——ソーマの歓喜の力が勝利の通過を告げる。
Mantra 5
अभि ब्रह्मीरनूषत यह्वीॠतस्य मातरः । मर्मृज्यन्ते दिवः शिशुम् ॥
聖なる讃詞は彼へと押し寄せて讃える。ṛta(宇宙の正法)の力ある母たちは、天の子を清め、磨き上げる。
Mantra 6
रायः समुद्राँश्चतुरोऽस्मभ्यं सोम विश्वतः । आ पवस्व सहस्रिणः ॥
ソーマよ、あらゆる方角から、われらのもとへと自らを浄めつつ来たれ。霊的富の四つの海を携え、千倍の満ち足りをもたらせ。浄め流れよ、千重の豊かさを。
It praises Soma as he is purified and made ready for offering, describing him as wave-like streams that bring clarity, inspired speech, and abundant prosperity.
Waves express Soma’s flowing purification, while bulls express his force—his ability to break through obstacles and energize the ritual and the worshipper’s inner life.
It is a poetic way of asking for vast, complete abundance from every direction—material and spiritual plenitude gathered into a single, overflowing gift.
