Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification as radiant, bull-like power that upholds ṛta/dharma and advances to Indra’s appointed share
अर्षा सोम द्युमत्तमो ऽभि द्रोणानि रोरुवत् सीदन्योनौ योनेष्वा
arṣā soma dyumattamo 'bhi droṇāni roruvat sīdanyonau yoneṣvā
árṣā2 soma2 dyumáttamo2 'bhí2 droṇā́ni2 róruvat2 sī́da2 anyónau2 yóneṣvā́2
流れよ、ソーマ(Soma)、最も光り輝くものよ。進みゆくとき轟きつつ、droṇaの器へと注げ。受け容れる座に、定められた諸の胎(yoni)に坐せ。

{ "gloss_summary": "droṇa is the Soma trough/vat for collection/distribution; yoni (‘womb’) denotes ritual containers (droṇa, grahas, seats) where Soma is stationed; ‘sīda’ is technical—Soma is to ‘sit’ for offering.", "ritual_interpretation": "Directs Soma’s movement into the correct vessels and its stable placement before libations.", "theological_insight": "Ritual order is the womb of divine efficacy: Soma’s brilliance becomes beneficent only when ‘seated’ in dharma-formed receptacles.", "etymology_highlights": "yoni as ‘source/womb’ extended to ‘ritual matrix’; sīda (√sad) ‘sit’ as liturgical stationing." }
