Adhyaya 17 — The Birth of Atri’s Three Sons: Soma, Dattatreya, and Durvasa
सोमः स्वरश्मिभैः शीतैर्वोरुधौषधिमानवान् ।
आप्याययन् सदा स्वर्गे वर्तते स प्रजापतिः ॥
somaḥ svaraśmibhaiḥ śītairvorudhauṣadhimānavān |
āpyāyayan sadā svarge vartate sa prajāpatiḥ ||
சோமன் தனது குளிர்ந்த கதிர்களால் எப்போதும் கடல், மூலிகைகள், மனிதர்கள் ஆகியவற்றை ஊட்டுகின்றான். அந்தப் பிரஜாபதி எந்நாளும் ஸ்வர்கத்தில் வாசம் செய்கிறான்.

Cosmic luminaries are framed as benefactors sustaining life: the Moon’s ‘cool rays’ become a theology of interdependence—humans, plants, and waters thrive through ordered celestial rhythms.
Sarga-adjacent cosmological function statement embedded within Vaṃśānucarita (Soma’s origin and role).
Cooling rays symbolize the soothing, stabilizing principle that counterbalances fiery forces; Soma here represents the nourishing ‘rasa’ current that supports life, medicine (oṣadhi), and the watery element.
