Mantra 7
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification and forward rush through the woollen filter, becoming an effective oblation that draws Indra and grants ‘svar’ (heaven/light).
सोमः पुनान ऊर्मिणाव्यं वारं वि धावति अग्रे वाचः पवमानः कनिक्रदत्
somaḥ punāna ūrmiṇāvyaṃ vāraṃ vi dhāvati agre vācaḥ pavamānaḥ kanikradat

Soma, purifying, with a surging wave runs through the woollen strainer; at the head of the sacred utterance the pavamāna resounds.

{ "gloss_summary": "‘avyām vāram’ = avipavitra, sheep’s wool filter; ‘agre vācaḥ’ = stotrāṇām agre; Soma’s sound/flow is coordinated with the forepart/commencement of chant.", "ritual_interpretation": "Mantra accompanies filtration and the beginning segment of stotra performance, marking the auspicious start of sacred utterance.", "theological_insight": "Purified Soma is simultaneously the purified voice; the deity manifests as both liquid and resonance.", "etymology_highlights": "pavamāna from √pū; vāra as ‘that which screens/chooses’ (filtering sense)." }
