Sukta 10

Rishi: RV-derived; exact AV 20 r̥ṣi assignment varies.

Devata: Indra (implicit in Indra-stuti context)

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence is possible in some recensional analyses, but the RV source context typically favors Triṣṭubh/Jagatī groupings; meter identification here remains uncertain without full pada-count verification.

تُحَرِّكُ هذه الإندرا-ستوتي الموجزةُ الستوما (المديح) بوصفه قوةً ظافرة: فالأناشيدُ «الحلوةُ كالعسل» تنهضُ كالمركبات، حاملةً المُضَحّي نحو الثروةِ والجوائزِ والعونِ الذي لا يَخيب. وبمواءمةِ التلاوةِ الحاضرة مع سلالاتِ الرُّؤاةِ المشهورة (كاṇفا، بهṛغو، آيَفا)، تُضفي الترنيمةُ الشرعيةَ على الطقس وتُكثِّفُ فاعليته الجالبةَ للازدهار.
