A description of the experience
Samavedas – Book 06 Chapter 01, IX Soma Pavamana
Even as the beams of Surya, urging men to speed,
they issue forth together, gladdening as they flow,
These swift outpourings in long course of holy rites:
no form save only lndra shows itself so pure.
The thought is deeply fixed, the savoury juice is shed;
the tongue with joyous sound is stirring in the mouth:
And Pavamana, like the shout of those who press, the drop,
rich in sweet juice, is flowing through the fleece.
The bull is bellowing; the cows are coming nigh:
the Goddesses approach the God's own resting-place.
Onward hath Soma pressed through the sheep's fair bright fleece,
and hath, as 'twere, endued a garment newly washed.
