Sukta 9.60

Devata

Soma Pavamāna (Indu)

Chandas

Gāyatrī (explicitly invoked; the verse is a gāyatrī-style invocation though full metrical verification is not provided here)

Himne Pavamāna yang ringkas ini menyeru para penyanyi agar memuji Soma dengan metrum Gāyatrī, merayakan titisan yang berkilau (Indu) sebagai kuasa bermata banyak yang melihat dan mengetahui segala-galanya. Ia menjejaki gerak ritual Soma—meluru melampaui penapis ke dalam tempayan-tempayan—serta mengaitkan aliran yang disucikan itu dengan kegembiraan batin dan kekuatan Indra. Himne ini memuncak dalam doa agar Soma menyucikan menjadi kedamaian dan membawa prajāvat retaḥ, daya cipta yang menjana, pembawa kemakmuran, dan berbuah keturunan.
