Mantra 4
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification and enthronement in ṛta through the waters and the filter (pavitra), yielding wealth and ritual power
प्र सोम देववीतये सिन्धुर्न पिप्ये अर्णसा अंशोः पयसा मदिरो न जागृविरच्छा कोशं मधुश्चुतम्
pra soma devavītaye sindhurna pipye arṇasā aṃśoḥ payasā madiro na jāgṛviracchā kośaṃ madhuścutam
pra1 soma1 devavītaye2 sindhur1 na1 pipye2 arṇasā2 aṃśoḥ1 payasā2 madiro1 na1 jāgṛvir2 acchā1 kośaṃ1 madhuścutam2
Mengalirlah ke hadapan, Soma, demi mendatangkan para dewa; laksana sungai ia mengembang oleh limpahannya; dengan susu yang bercampur dari tangkai Soma (aṃśu), memabukkan namun berjaga—menujulah ke bejana yang menitis kemanisan.

{ "prastava": "(Prelude often establishes forward motion with stobha and extended ‘pra’ entry.)", "udgitha": "pra soma devavītaye sindhur na pipye arṇasā…", "pratihara": "(Response may echo devavītaye/sindhuḥ to reinforce deity-inviting function.)", "upadrava": "…aṃśoḥ payasā madiraḥ na jāgṛviḥ…", "nidhana": "…acchā kośaṃ madhuścutam", "structure_notes": "Semantic climax aligns with nidhana: ‘toward the honey-dripping vessel’ invites a sweet, collective cadence.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part distribution; nidhana by all to ‘seal’ the sweetness in the ritual space." }
{ "gloss_summary": "devavītaye: for bringing/winning the gods to the sacrifice. Soma swells like a river with flood. payasā indicates prescribed admixture/nourishment (often glossed as mixture enhancing Soma). kośaṃ madhuścutam: the receiving vessel dripping sweetness.", "ritual_interpretation": "Chanted as Soma is directed toward the vessel for offering; emphasizes deity-attraction and proper preparation through admixture and flow.", "theological_insight": "Soma is both means and magnet: by his prepared flow the gods are drawn, and sweetness (madhu) becomes the rite’s fruition.", "etymology_highlights": "devavīti from deva + vīti (winning/attainment/bringing); sindhu as great flowing mass; madhuścut as ‘honey-dripping’ (√scut/√cyut, to drip)." }
