Rişhi: Several rişhis  (RV 9.110.4)

ajījano amŗta marteshvān ŗtasya dharmann-amŗtasya chāruņaĥ

O Immortal, thou art born in mortals in the Law of the Truth, of Immortality, of Beauty.

Soma, the Lord of Delight, manifests in man only when the necessary conditions are ready. The unbaked jar of the human system has to be burnt in the fire of tapasya, exposed to the light and workings of the Truth, cultured grade by grade in processes that eliminate the elements of ignorance, falsehood, evil and death and at the same time build up the harmonies of Good and Beauty, activate and strengthen the forces that lead towards the goal of Immortality.
