{ "gloss_summary": "ubhayaṃ = both stuti and havis (or both calls near/far); arvāk = deity’s approach to the sacrificial ground; soma-pītaye = explicit purpose of coming; dhiyā = devout intention/insight that draws Indra; śaviṣṭha = most mighty.", "ritual_interpretation": "A direct āvāhana for Indra’s soma-drinking; ensures he ‘hears’ both the verbal hymn and the offering-act.", "theological_insight": "Divine response is conditioned by coherence: intention (dhī) and utterance (vacas) together make the rite efficacious.", "etymology_highlights": "arvāk ‘toward (us)’; maghavān ‘bountiful’ from magha ‘gift’; śaviṣṭha superlative of śavas ‘strength’." }
