Soma Pavamāna
Ucathya Āṅgirasa
5 verses: gāyatrī
Unlike the very straightforward preceding hymn (IX.51) attributed to the same poet, this one is full of tricks, especially in the middle verse (3), which can thus be viewed as an omphalos. The contents of the first two verses are conventional enough—the entry of Soma into the filter—but they contain several instances of phonological and morphological play, as do the final two verses (4–5). These cannot be conveyed in translation.
Verse 3, characterized by the repetition of the verb īṅkhaya (“push, shove”) of highly marked formation, has a slangy and disparaging tone. Its object is generally interpreted, in our opinion correctly, as a reference to an ungenerous rich man, perhaps the poet’s patron. He is compared to a pot, no doubt both because he is full of goods and because of his stodgy demeanor, and the soma drop is urged to prod this miser into giving.
Two matching compounds, sanád-rayiḥ “gaining wealth” (vs. 1) and maṃhayád-rayiḥ “readying wealth” (vs. 5), provide a thematic and grammatical ring.
