अर्थ

पवमान सूक्तम् (ऋग्वेद ९.६७.२१-२७) प्रसिद्ध 'पुनन्तु माम्' शुद्धिकरण सूक्त है, जो पवमान सोम के साथ-साथ अग्नि, सवितृ, वसुओं एवं विश्वेदेवों को सम्बोधित है। प्रत्येक मन्त्र भय एवं अशुद्धि से 'सब ओर से' शुद्ध होने की प्रार्थना करता है और देवताओं से शरीर, मन एवं वाणी को पवित्र करने की याचना करता है। यह आन्तरिक शुद्धि के लिए सर्वाधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण वैदिक मन्त्रों में से एक है, जो कर्मों के अन्त में, प्रायश्चित्त में, तथा पवित्र स्नान एवं होम के समय पढ़ा जाता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Rigveda, Mandala 9, Sukta 67 (verses 21-27) · Rishi Pavitra Angirasa and the seers of the Soma-Pavamana hymns (traditional) · c. 1500-1200 BCE

The ninth Mandala of the Rigveda is devoted entirely to Soma Pavamana — the sacred draught as it is pressed and purified through the woollen strainer. From this Mandala the closing verses of Sukta 67 form the 'Punantu Mam' hymn, in which the imagery of straining and purifying Soma becomes a prayer for the purification of the worshipper himself. Adopted across the Vedic ritual tradition, it is recited wherever inner and outer purity is sought — in bathing, atonement and the sealing of every sacred rite.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Tradition holds that the Pavamana Suktam carries the cleansing power of Soma itself: just as the strained Soma becomes clear and radiant, the worshipper who recites 'Punantu Mam' with faith is said to be inwardly purified of fear, fault and impurity. For this reason it is the mantra invoked to make a person and a ritual fit and whole, washing away even unknown lapses.
