Sukta 9.89

Devata: Soma Pavamāna

प्रो स्य वह्निः पथ्याभिरस्यान्दिवो न वृष्टिः पवमानो अक्षाः । सहस्रधारो असदन्न्यस्मे मातुरुपस्थे वन आ च सोमः ॥

pró syá vaḥníḥ pathyā́bhir asyān divó na vṛṣṭíḥ pávamāno akṣāḥ | sahásra-dhāro ásadann y àsmé mā́tur upásthe vána ā́ ca sómaḥ ||

अग्निवाहक ‘वह्नि’ असा पवमान सोम धर्म्य मार्गांनी पुढे सरकतो; जसा द्युलोकातून पाऊस, तसा तो शुद्ध करणारा धारांनी प्रवाहित होतो. सहस्रधारा सोम आमच्यात येऊन स्थिर होतो—मातेच्या उपस्थात, वन-वनस्पतीच्या वाढीत—आणि आमच्या अस्तित्व-क्षेत्रात प्रवेश करतो.
