Mantra 8
Aindra stotra of invitation and praise: summoning Indra to the Soma with assurance of his inexhaustible giving
कदा च न स्तरीरसि नेन्द्र सश्चसि दाशुषे उपोपेन्नु मघवन्भूय इन्नु ते दानं देवस्य पृच्यते
kadā ca na starīrasi nendra saścasi dāśuṣe upopennu maghavanbhūya innu te dānaṃ devasya pṛcyate
kádā ca ná starīrasi | nendra sáścasi dāśúṣe | úpopa ín nu maghavan bhū́ya ín nu te | dā́naṃ devásya pṛ́cyate3
কেতিয়া তুমি কেতিয়াও অভাৱী নহ’বা? হে ইন্দ্ৰ, দানকাৰী উপাসকৰ পৰা তুমি আঁতৰি নাযাওঁ; হে মঘৱন, পুনঃ পুনঃ—আৰু পুনৰ—তোমাৰ দান, দেৱতাৰ দান, প্ৰাৰ্থিত হয়।
kadā | ca | na | starīrasi | na | indra | saścasi | dāśuṣe | upa-upa | it | nu | maghavan | bhūyaḥ | it | nu | te | dānam | devasya | pṛcyate

{ "gloss_summary": "dāśuṣ = yajamāna/ṛtvik who offers; pṛcyate = yācyate (is solicited); upa-upa, bhūyaḥ mark reiterated petition in the rite; Indra’s dāna is repeatedly sought.", "ritual_interpretation": "Reflects recurring sacrificial sessions and repeated requests for dakṣiṇā/phala; assures Indra’s continued proximity to the patron.", "theological_insight": "Divine giving is steady companionship; repeated prayer is not distrust but rhythmic participation in the sacrificial order.", "etymology_highlights": "pṛcyate (from √prach/prec ‘to ask/request’ in Vedic usage) glossed as yācyate; starīrasi interpreted as ‘to fall short/be wanting’ negated to assert sufficiency." }
