आमासु पक्वमैरय आ सूर्यं रोहयो दिवि घर्मं न सामं तपता सुवृक्तिभिर्जुष्टं गिर्वणसे बृहत्
āmāsu pakvamairaya ā sūryaṃ rohayo divi gharmaṃ na sāmaṃ tapatā suvṛktibhirjuṣṭaṃ girvaṇase bṛhat

بَيْنَ غَيْرِ النَّاضِجِ أَنْتَ أَنْهَضْتَ النَّاضِجَ؛ وَأَصْعَدْتَ سُورْيَا فِي السَّمَاءِ؛ وَكَالغَرْمَا (الحَرَارَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ) جَعَلْتَ السَّامَانَ يَتَوَهَّجُ بِتَسَابِيحَ حَسَنَةِ النُّطْقِ—(تَرْتِيلًا) مَرْضِيًّا لِـ«غِيرْفَانَس» (إِنْدْرَا المَمْدُوحِ بِالأَنَاشِيدِ)، العَظِيمِ.

{ "gloss_summary": "Indra ripens what is unripe, makes the sun rise, and causes the sāman to ‘glow’ like heat through well-spoken praises; the chant is acceptable to the hymn-praised great one.", "ritual_interpretation": "gharma is both heat and ritually evocative of Pravargya/Gharma potency; sāman is the liturgical chant whose tapas empowers the rite and pleases the deity.", "theological_insight": "Sound rightly formed is tapas: it effects maturation and illumination in the ritual cosmos and the sacrificer.", "etymology_highlights": "gharma as ‘heat’ and ritual ‘Gharma’; suvṛkti = ‘well-turned utterance’; girvaṇas = ‘praised by songs/words’; bṛhat = ‘vast/great’." }
