Meaning -
Devout celebrants love Soma divine like the warmth of fire, admire it like beauty of the dawn, and exalt it like light of the sun. You join the bliss of this divinity with all your senses, mind, intelligence and awareness. And then you would realise that Soma vibrates in the heart as bliss and rolls as waves of the sea. It inspires men to burst forth in song, energises thoughts and intellect, and sharpens the vision and imagination. Indeed there are no bounds to the precious gifts of Soma, infinite are they, universally adored and exalted as it is.
