Mantra 11
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification as radiant, bull-like power that upholds ṛta/dharma and advances to Indra’s appointed share
अया सोम सुकृत्यपा महान्त्सन्नभ्यवर्धथाः हिन्दान इद्वृषायसे

ayā1 soma1 sukṛtyapāḥ2 mahān1 san1 abhyavardhathāḥ2 hindānaḥ2 id1 vṛṣāyase2
ഈ പ്രക്രിയയാൽ, ഹേ സോമാ! സുകൃത്യപാ (പുണ്യകർമ്മങ്ങളുടെ രക്ഷകൻ), മഹാനായി നീ വർദ്ധിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; പ്രേരിതനായി, തീർച്ചയായും നീ നിന്റെ വീര്യ-ബലം പ്രസരിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

{ "gloss_summary": "By this procedure Soma, as protector of well-performed sacrifice, becomes great and increases; being impelled, he displays vigor.", "ritual_interpretation": "sukṛtyapāḥ = one who protects the properly performed iṣṭi/yajña; abhyavardhathāḥ = swelling as juice accumulates and clarifies; hindānaḥ = urged onward in the process.", "theological_insight": "Ritual correctness is itself a divine protection; Soma’s ‘greatness’ is the yajña’s efficacy made audible.", "etymology_highlights": "sukṛta ‘well-done’ + pā ‘protector’; √vṛdh ‘to increase’; hindāna from √hi/√hind ‘to impel’ (traditional derivations vary)." }
