ولْتَأْتِنا تلك الفِكرةُ السماويةُ—أديتي (Aditi)—بالعون؛ ولْتَهَبْ، واهبةُ السكينة، لنا العافيةَ، ولْتَدْفَعِ العوائقَ بعيدًا.

{ "gloss_summary": "Aditi is invoked as protective power; ‘mati’ is right ritual intention/counsel. She comes with aid, bestows tranquillity and welfare, and removes obstructions (sridhaḥ).", "ritual_interpretation": "Ensures the rite proceeds without breaks (anavaccheda), guarding against errors, omissions, and hostile interferences.", "theological_insight": "The divine as ‘unboundedness’ safeguards both external ritual continuity and internal coherence of intention.", "etymology_highlights": "Aditi = a-diti ‘not bound/not cut’; śantātā from √śam ‘to pacify’; mayas from ‘pleasantness/welfare’." }
