Devata

Soma Pavamāna (Indu)

Chandas

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

Este breve hino a Pavamāna conclama os cantores a louvar Soma no metro gāyatrī, celebrando a gota brilhante (Indu) como um poder de muitos olhos, que tudo percebe. Ele acompanha o movimento ritual de Soma — irrompendo para além dos coadores até os jarros — e liga esse fluxo purificado ao deleite interior e à força de Indra. O hino culmina numa prece para que Soma, ao purificar-se, se torne paz e traga prajāvat retaḥ, a força criativa geradora, portadora de prosperidade.
