What happens in this chapter
A Playful Giver Comes to the Filter
Kashyapa Asita or Devala sings of Pavamana Soma in gayatri. The poet flows through the sheep's fleece for the Devas, overcoming every rival. He sends the singers strength rich in cows by the thousand. He is asked to find fame for us. He is urged to bring great glory and lasting wealth to the generous, and food to the singers. Like a king of firm vows he has entered the songs. The carrier, hard to overcome in the waters, is groomed in the hands and sits in the bowls. Playful and generous, he comes to the filter, bringing heroic strength to the singer.
