Tema ini memuji Soma Pavamāna yang diperah, ditapis, dan mengalir deras untuk memurnikan persembahan agar layak dan berdaya. Soma digambarkan laksana kuda/arus pujian yang melintasi wilayah-wilayah (rajas), disucikan melalui penapis kayu dan air. Bersama itu Indra dipohon menganugerahkan kratu—tekad dan kemahiran korban yang benar—membimbing para pelaksana, menyingkirkan halangan, melindungi daripada golongan bermusuhan dan kuasa sial, serta menyeberangkan ‘air/penurunan’ sebagai lambang mengatasi rintangan, demi memperoleh daya hidup dan cahaya yang hidup bagi si penyaji.

Frequently Asked Questions

It joins two concerns of the Soma rite: Soma must be pressed and purified (through strainers and waters), and Indra must grant kratu—right resolve and skill—so the sacrifice succeeds and obstacles are overcome.

Soma is the offering that becomes potent through purification; Indra is asked to empower the performers, teach correct performance, and protect the sacrificer from hostile or inauspicious forces during the rite.

It points to a blessing of sustained vitality and auspicious illumination—often understood as longevity, clear well-being, and the successful fruition of the sacrifice under Indra’s guidance.
