这首简短的晚期《曼荼罗》祭仪赞歌呼唤grāvāṇaḥ（苏摩榨石），催促它们就位于榨板之上，压榨并流出苏摩。又祈请神圣的推动者萨维特里（Savitṛ）使诸器具依“法/正法”（dharmaṇā）而正当运转，使祭主的压榨为诸神带来力量与陶醉之喜——尤其献给那位“强者”（多指因陀罗）。

Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn addresses the grāvāṇaḥ—Soma pressing-stones—treating them as sacred agents of the rite, and calls on Savitṛ to set their action in motion.
Savitṛ is the divine Impeller: he represents the power that initiates and guides right action. The hymn asks him to impel the stones ‘by dharma’ so the pressing is effective and orderly.
It fits the Soma-pressing sequence, especially when positioning and beginning to use the stones on the pressing-boards, to sanctify the action and direct its fruit to the gods and the yajamāna.
