Aindra Soma-invocation: summoning Indra to the pressed Soma and affirming ṛta-guided protection that stabilizes the sacrifice
आ व इन्द्र कृविं यथा वाजयन्तः शतक्रतुम् मंहिष्ठं सिञ्च इन्दुभिः
ā va indra kṛviṃ yathā vājayantaḥ śatakratum maṃhiṣṭhaṃ siñca indubhiḥ

হে ইন্দ্র! যেমন ভোজকের কাছে গমন কর, তেমনি আমাদের নিকট এসো। আমরা বাজ (বিজয়-পুরস্কার) লাভের জন্য উদ্যত হয়ে, শতক্রতু—অতিদাতা—তোমাকে সোমের ইন্দু-বিন্দুতে সিঞ্চিত করি।

{ "gloss_summary": "Indra is invited to come as an eater comes to food; the sacrificers, seeking the prize, sprinkle him with Soma drops, praising him as Śatakratu and most bountiful.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘siñca indubhiḥ’ is a ritual offering act (pouring/sprinkling Soma), not merely figurative language; it coordinates chant with Soma handling.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s participation is framed as rightful enjoyment that empowers his gift of victory; the yajña feeds divine force which then feeds the world.", "etymology_highlights": "kṛvi: ‘eater’; vāja: prize/victory; śatakratu: ‘hundred acts/powers’; indu: Soma drop." }
