in the cosmic yajna in absolute time and space, Soma
who also created four other beautiful orders of existence
for the glory and sanctity of existence which grows by
the laws of cosmic dynamics. (Rg. 9-70-1)
(The seven cows may be interpreted as the seven
evolutes of Prakrti: mahan, ahankara and five subtle
elements of ether or akasha, energy or vayu, fire or agni,
water or apah, and earth or prthivi. Three are orders of
sattva or thought, rajas or energy, and tamas or matter.
This makes the thrice seven, the four other beautiful
orders of existence may be interpreted as mana (mind),
buddhi (discriminative intelligence), chitta (memory)
and ahankara (I-sense or existential personality).
Another interpretation could be the four Vedas,
knowledge, the corresponding order of existence in
terms of awareness and expression.

Indråya soma su¶uta¨ pari sravåpåm∂vå
bhavatu rak¶aså saha. Må te rasasya matsata

O Soma, divine joy of life, distilled and realised
in meditation, flow for the delight of the soul. Let
adversities and ailments be far off, give us freedom from
negativities, contradictions, adversities and violence.
Double dealers would not have the joy of that experience
and freedom. May all streams of Soma be abundant in
wealth, honour and excellence. (Rg. 9-85-1)
