Mantra 2
Pavamāna Soma’s self-purification through the waters and filter, emerging as the radiant king who empowers the rite and grants prosperity
विपश्चिते पवमानाय गायत मही न धारात्यन्धो अर्षति अहिर्न जूर्णामति सर्पति त्वचमत्यो न क्रीडन्नसरद्वृषा हरिः

向睿智的帕瓦玛那（Pavamāna）歌唱吧：苏摩（Soma）之汁的雄浑洪流奔涌而行；如蛇滑行，蜕去陈旧之皮；又如骏马嬉驰般冲出——那黄褐色、强健的公牛（Hariḥ）。
