Mantra 9
Indra’s swift invitation to the Soma-rite through potent stotra and unhindered approach
उदु त्ये मधुमत्तमा गिर स्तोमास ईरते सत्राजितो धनसा अक्षितोतयो वाजयन्तो रथा इव
udu tye madhumattamā gira stomāsa īrate satrājito dhanasā akṣitotayo vājayanto rathā iva
u1d u tye2 madhumattamā2 gi1ra sto1māsa ī2rate | satrāji1to dhanasā2 akṣito2tayo vājaya1nto rathā2 iva ||
সেই অতিশয় মধুময় স্তুতিগুলি ঊর্ধ্বে ওঠে; স্তোমগুলি প্রবাহিত হয়—সদা-জয়ী, ধনসমৃদ্ধ, অক্ষয় সহায়তাসম্পন্ন—বাজ (পুরস্কার) বহন করে, রথের ন্যায়।

{ "prastava": "(typ.) o/ho-i prelude leading into ud u tye…", "udgitha": "Main body emphasizing madhumattamā gira stomāsa īrate…", "pratihara": "Responsive turn around satrājito… (echoing victory/wealth motifs)", "upadrava": "vājayanto rathā iva (after-song driving to cadence)", "nidhana": "(typ.) prolonged closing vowel/syllable on final cadence", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma practice, lexical syllables are stretched by stobhas in gāna-form; the chariot simile often receives a cadential elongation to ‘seat’ the image.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha+upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), all three (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses the ‘honeyed’ praises as Soma-pleasing; stomas are ‘victorious’ because they overcome impediments and secure fruit. ‘Satrājitaḥ’ connects to satra (protracted session) as enduring victory.", "ritual_interpretation": "The stoma is an operative limb of Soma rite: by being properly sung it ‘wins’ the desired result for the yajamāna and stabilizes the session against obstacles.", "theological_insight": "Sound is not mere praise but a force that aligns human rite with divine agency; Indra’s victory is mirrored by the rite’s victory.", "etymology_highlights": "satra-jit: ‘winning in/through satra’; akṣita-ūtayaḥ: ‘un-decaying helps/succours’; stomāsaḥ from stu (to praise) as structured laud." }
