Soma Pavamāna
Trita Āptya
6 verses: gāyatrī
The hymn begins with the usual rushing forth of the soma, but achieves an unusual ring, since in the last verse (6) it is the songs that rush (using the same verb, arṣa(n)ti) to him. What lies between is, for the most part, unremarkable. Verse 2 lists the recipients of the soma, a longer list than usual (and a verse almost identical to vs. 3 in the previous hymn, IX.33), and verses 3–4 concern the preparation of the drink. However, verse 5 is difficult: the Maruts milk for themselves (or yield as their milk) the oblation in the direction of “the upper surface of truth.” Although in the context of the hymn, soma should be the product of milking (see vs. 3), the liquid the Maruts ordinarily milk is rain. Moreover, “the upper surface of truth” is a puzzling phrase, which occurs elsewhere only in the mystical and baffling Vena hymn (X.123.2). Since the latter hymn seems to concern the mystical identification between soma and the sun, it is likely that here too we have double reference, with the ritual substance soma assimilated to the cosmic fecundator, the rain, and “the upper surface of truth” referring both to the soma filter and to heaven (or the res ervoir of rain in heaven).
