Aindra praise and petition: Indra as protector, wealth-giver, and Vṛtra-slayer invoked for bhaga, dyumna, and pauṃsya
बृहदिन्द्राय गायत मरुतो वृत्रहन्तमम् येन ज्योतिरजनयन्नृतावृधो देवं देवाय जागृवि
bṛhadindrāya gāyata maruto vṛtrahantamam yena jyotirajanayannṛtāvṛdho devaṃ devāya jāgṛvi
bṛhád índrāya gā́yata marúto vṛtra-hántamam yéna jyótir ájanayan ṛtā́vṛdho deváṃ devā́ya jā́gṛvi
غنّوا لإندرا العظيم، يا ماروت (Marut)، لأشدّ قاتلي فِرترا (Vṛtra) بأسًا؛ به—النامي في رِتا (ṛta)—وُلد النور؛ وهو يقِظٌ يأتي إلهًا لإلهٍ إلى اليَجْنَة (yajña).

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude, preparing the explicit ‘gāyata’)", "udgitha": "bṛhadindrāya gāyata maruto vṛtrahantamam", "pratihara": "yena jyotirajanayan ṛtāvṛdho", "upadrava": "devaṃ devāya jāgṛvi", "nidhana": "(final hold on jāgṛvi / -vi with closing stobha)", "structure_notes": "The verse itself cues sāman praxis: imperative ‘gāyata’ sits naturally in udgītha; illumination line offers expansive pratihāra; final ‘jāgṛvi’ is a wakeful nidhana target.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "gāyata is an explicit injunction to sāman singing. ṛtāvṛdhaḥ: Indra is augmented by ṛta—by duly performed sacrifice and truth. jyotiḥ: construed as splendour/prosperity generated by Indra for the worshipper/rite. jāgṛvi: wakeful, attentive presence at the sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "A verse that legitimizes the sāman act itself; connects correct performance (ṛta) with the production of ritual jyotis.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s presence is invited as wakeful divine witness; the offering is a meeting of ‘deva for deva’.", "etymology_highlights": "ṛta-vṛdha (‘grown by ṛta’); jāgṛvi (from √jāgṛ, ‘to be awake’)." }
