Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 12
Soma Pavamāna’s purifying flow as a cosmic-ritual ascent toward the Sun and the gods
पवित्रं ते विततं ब्रह्मणस्पते प्रभुर्गात्राणि पर्येषि विश्वतः अतप्ततनूर्न तदामो अश्नुते शृतास इद्वहन्तः सं तदाशत
pavitraṃ te vitataṃ brahmaṇaspate prabhurgātrāṇi paryeṣi viśvataḥ ataptatanūrna tadāmo aśnute śṛtāsa idvahantaḥ saṃ tadāśata

你的滤净之具（pavitra）已铺展，噢祈祷之主（Brahmaṇaspati）；你大能，环绕诸肢体，四方周遍。未受热之身，不能除尽那生涩的污秽；唯有熟成者，确然负持其净化，齐齐抵达其所。

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude establishing the ‘pavitra’ frame.", "udgitha": "Main declaration: ‘pavitraṃ te vitataṃ brahmaṇaspate…’.", "pratihara": "Response emphasizing encompassing power: ‘prabhur gātrāṇi paryeṣi viśvataḥ’.", "upadrava": "After-song delivers the teaching contrast: ‘ataptatanūr na… āmo aśnute’.", "nidhana": "Collective closure on ‘śṛtāsa id vahantaḥ saṃ tad āśata’.", "structure_notes": "The verse is naturally didactic: statement of purifier → statement of scope → negative rule (unheated can’t reach) → positive rule (cooked attain). Sāman limbs can map to these four steps with a strong final seal.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha/upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), all (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Pavitra’ is the Soma strainer; ‘vitata’ means spread out; Brahmaṇaspati is invoked as the presiding power of sacred speech ensuring correctness; ‘paryeṣi viśvataḥ’ indicates encompassing/guarding the members; ‘āma’ is raw impurity/unfinished state; ‘ataptatanū’ (unheated) cannot attain it properly; ‘śṛta’ (well-cooked/properly prepared) bear and reach the intended goal together.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms the physical purifier apparatus and the necessity that offerings and performers be properly prepared—no ‘raw’ impurity should enter the rite.", "theological_insight": "Brahman (sacred formulation) is a real operative force that purifies and integrates; tapas-like preparation is required for sacramental efficacy.", "etymology_highlights": "āma—raw/undigested impurity; śṛta—cooked/fit; vitata—stretched/spread; Brahmaṇaspati—lord of brahman (prayer/formula)." }
