Mantra 4
Indra’s swift invitation to the Soma-rite through potent stotra and unhindered approach
आ मन्द्रैरिन्द्र हरिभिर्याहि मयूररोमभिः मा त्वा के चिन्नि येमुरिन्न पाशिनो ऽति धन्वेव तां इहि
ā mandrairindra haribhiryāhi mayūraromabhiḥ mā tvā ke cinni yemurinna pāśino 'ti dhanveva tāṃ ihi
ā mandrai1r indra haribhi1r yāhi mayūraromabhi2ḥ | mā tvā ke ci1n ni yemur i1nna pāśi1no 'ti dhanve1va tāṃ i1hi ||
এসো, ইন্দ্র, তোমার হরি (তাম্রবর্ণ) অশ্বসহ; মধুর, আনন্দদায়ক স্তোত্রধ্বনিতে প্রেরিত হয়ে, ময়ূর-রোমসদৃশ দীপ্ত অলংকারসহ। কোনো বন্ধনকারী যেন তোমাকে না রোধ করে; ধনুকের উপর দিয়ে বাণ যেমন লঙ্ঘন করে, তেমনি তাদের অতিক্রম করে—এই যজ্ঞে এখানে এসো।

Aindra (Indra-stotra) Sāman; specific tune-name not stated in input
{ "prastava": "Stobha-led āvāhana prelude (often with elongated ‘ā’ plus hā/u/ho in gāna forms).", "udgitha": "Main text-bearing segment centered on ‘indra … yāhi …’; longest holds typically here.", "pratihara": "Responsive turn emphasizing the ‘mā tvā …’ protective clause (warding off obstacles).", "upadrava": "After-song reiteration of motion/arrival imagery (‘ati … iva … ihi’) with cadential shaping.", "nidhana": "Short closing cadence on ‘ihi’/final syllables with collective stabilization.", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma sāman performance distributes text across the five parts with stobha padding; semantic ‘spine’ remains in the udgītha and upadrava.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; Nidhana: all (often led by Udgātṛ)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘mandraiḥ’ are auspicious sāman-tones that invite Indra; ‘pāśinaḥ’ are obstructing forces (rākṣasādi) that impede the rite; ‘mayūraromabhiḥ’ conveys brilliant variegation/splendour.", "ritual_interpretation": "The stotra is an āvāhana ensuring Indra’s attendance and a protective utterance so no hostile beings obstruct the yajña’s course.", "theological_insight": "Divine approach is mediated by correctly formed praise; the deity is ‘drawn’ by sound that is both beautiful and ritually exact.", "etymology_highlights": "pāśinaḥ (from pāśa, ‘noose’) as ‘binders’; mandra as pleasing/resonant tone associated with sāman-singing." }
