Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 10
Soma Pavamāna’s self-purification and forward rush through the woollen filter, becoming an effective oblation that draws Indra and grants ‘svar’ (heaven/light).
अस्मभ्यं त्वा वसुविदमभि वाणीरनूषत गोभिष्टे वर्णमभि वासयामसि
asmabhyaṃ tvā vasuvidamabhi vāṇīranūṣata gobhiṣṭe varṇamabhi vāsayāmasi

எங்களுக்காக வாக்குகள் உன்னைப் புகழ்கின்றன—ஹே வசு-வித் (செல்வம் அளிப்பவன்)! கோபிஃ (பசுக்களால்/பசுசார்ந்த உபகரணங்களால்) உன் ஒளி-நிறத்தை நாம் ஆடையணிவிப்பதுபோல் அலங்கரிக்கிறோம்; அதாவது கோ-சார்ந்த விதிகளால் உன்னை முறையாகத் தயாரிக்கிறோம்.
