Mantra 5
Soma Pavamāna’s purifying flow through the strainer, bringing nourishment and auspicious power
प्र यद्गावो न भूर्णयस्त्वेषा अयासो अक्रमुः घ्नन्तः कृष्णामप त्वचम्
pra yadgāvo na bhūrṇayastveṣā ayāso akramuḥ ghnantaḥ kṛṣṇāmapa tvacam
pra1 yad gā1vo na bhū2rṇayaḥ3 tve1ṣā a1yāso a2kramuḥ3 ghna1ntaḥ kṛ1ṣṇām a1pa tva2cam3
Quando, como vacas de corrida veloz, os fluxos impetuosos, incansáveis, avançam, eles golpeiam e afastam o véu escuro.
