Devata

Soma Pavamāna

Anuṣṭubh (probable; refrain-like cadence)

这首简短的《帕瓦玛那》赞歌颂扬苏摩:当他被榨取并经由滤器净化时,自山岳之源奔流而下,进入为祭祀预备的器皿。每一节都回到反复句“madeṣu sarvadhā asi”,确认苏摩在一切被高举的境界与神圣的欢悦中无处不在。此歌既具仪轨之旨(使流动的苏摩成圣),亦具灵性之求(藉由净化的精髓召请澄明、力量与兴盛)。

Frequently Asked Questions

It describes Soma being pressed and purified through the filter (pavitra), then flowing into jars for the sacrifice, while proclaiming that Soma is present in every state of sacred exhilaration (mada).

The refrain reinforces one central teaching: purified Soma pervades all forms of uplifted joy and inspired intensity—ritually in the Soma flow, and inwardly as clarified vitality in the worshiper.

As Pavamāna, Soma is also a symbol of refined life-force and consciousness—raw energy made pure through ‘filtering,’ becoming clarity, strength, and bliss fit for communion with the divine.
