Mantra 5
Soma Pavamāna’s purifying flow as a cosmic-ritual ascent toward the Sun and the gods
धर्ता दिवः पवते कृत्व्यो रसो दक्षो देवानामनुमाद्यो नृभिः हरिः सृजानो अत्यो न सत्वभिर्वृथा पाजांसि कृणुषे नदीष्वा
dhartā divaḥ pavate kṛtvyo raso dakṣo devānāmanumādyo nṛbhiḥ hariḥ sṛjāno atyo na satvabhirvṛthā pājāṃsi kṛṇuṣe nadīṣvā

The supporter of heaven is purified, the sap, worthy of sacred acts; the power of the gods, to be exhilarated by men: the tawny (Soma), rushing forth like a steed with his energies, makest not thy vigours vain in the streams.

Pavamana (standard Soma-stotra tune; specific saman-name not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "o (setting a firm base tone)", "udgitha": "dhartā divaḥ pavate kṛtvyo raso ...", "pratihara": "response emphasizing dakṣa/devānām cadence", "upadrava": "hariḥ sṛjāno atyo na ... nadīṣu", "nidhana": "final cadence on nadīṣvā/nadīṣu with lengthened vowel", "structure_notes": "Keep ‘dakṣo devānām’ clearly articulated; in singing, ensure consonant clusters do not harden the stream-like flow.", "singer_assignments": "Standard three-priest distribution; nidhana unified." }
{ "gloss_summary": "kṛtvya is ‘yajñārha’ (fit for sacrificial operation); dakṣa is effective potency that delights the gods when administered by men/priests; nadīs are ritual streams/channels; Soma does not make his powers vain when flowing rightly.", "ritual_interpretation": "Highlights priestly agency (nṛbhiḥ) in making Soma effective; the verse sanctifies the flow through channels and the vigor it imparts.", "theological_insight": "Divine exhilaration (anumāda) is mediated through correct human rite—Soma is the bridge where human action becomes divine strength.", "etymology_highlights": "dakṣa (capacity/skill); pavate (purifies/flows); anumādya (to be gladdened)." }
