この短いパヴァマーナ・ソーマ讃歌は、ソーマの滴が定められたṛta(宇宙の正序)の道を進み、濾し器を通って浄められるにつれて光り輝くさまを讃える。ソーマは意識ある黄褐色の力として描かれ、浄化の後に「座に就く」。歌い手の霊感に満ちた思惟は奉仕の心で彼へと向かう。さらに讃歌は、富・甘味・名声・尽きぬ宝を伴う一致した勝利を祈る言葉へと広がり、その成就は天と地に支えられる。

असृग्रमिन्दवः पथा धर्मन्नृतस्य सुश्रियः । विदाना अस्य योजनम् ॥

ソーマ(Soma)の滴りは道へと発ち、Ṛtaの法(dharma)に据えられて、輝く美のうちに進む。彼らは、彼が我らの内において結び合わせ、軛してゆくその結合(yojanam)をよく知っている。

पवमानो अभि स्पृधो विशो राजेव सीदति । यदीमृण्वन्ति वेधसः ॥

Mantra 6

अव्यो वारे परि प्रियो हरिर्वनेषु सीदति । रेभो वनुष्यते मती ॥

彼は歓喜の酔いとともに、ヴァーユ(Vāyu)へ、インドラ(Indra)へ、そしてアシュヴィン双神(Aśvinā)とともに進む;自らの働きの法(dharma)によって、戦いの歓びとなる者――内なる争いに勝利する。

Mantra 8

आ मित्रावरुणा भगं मध्वः पवन्त ऊर्मयः । विदाना अस्य शक्मभिः ॥

われらのために、天と地(ローダシー)よ、甘露の富をともに勝ち取り、充溢を征するための勝利を得よ。さらに、光り輝く名声と、一つに集められた真の宝をわれらに勝ち取れ。

Frequently Asked Questions

It is Soma in the act of purification—the pressed juice flowing and being strained, praised as a living, conscious power that becomes radiant and fit for offering.

Because Soma is ritually filtered through a woolen strainer; the image also suggests inner clarification—thought and life-energy becoming clean, bright, and steady.

Along with praise of his purification, it asks for prosperity and strength: sweet riches, victory in plenitude, good fame, and true treasures gathered in unity for the worshippers.
