Aindra praise: Indra’s primordial heroic act and his empowering presence in the sacrifice

হে ইন্দ্র! এ তোমার সেই আর্য-শৌর্যকর্ম—নরদের গীত—সর্বপ্রথম ও অতিপ্রাচীন; যা স্বর্গে ঘোষিত হয়। দেবশক্তির বলেই তুমি জলধারাকে মুক্ত করেছিলে; আর ওজসে দেবতুল্য হয়ে সর্বভূবনে ব্যাপ্ত হয়েছিলে। শতক্রতু পুষ্টি (ঊর্জা) লাভ করল এবং অভীষ্টও লাভ করল।

Aindra-stotra (generic; specific gāna not supplied in input)
{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, commonly ‘o/ho’ expansions before the first meaningful pada in Aindra settings; exact stobhas depend on the specific gāna).", "udgitha": "Core text beginning ‘tava tyat naryam…’ elongated on ‘indra’ and action segments (‘riṇan apaḥ’, ‘ojasā’).", "pratihara": "Responsive reprise/answering segment often pivoting on a key phrase (e.g., ‘divi pravācyam’ or ‘riṇann apaḥ’) in Kauthuma practice.", "upadrava": "After-song continuation emphasizing the boon outcome ‘vided ūrjam… vided iṣam’.", "nidhana": "Closing cadence on the final boon-word (‘iṣam’) with collective settling tone.", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma sāman performance, semantic pivots (Indra’s act → release → pervasion → boon) map naturally onto udgītha/upadrava divisions; stobhas may frame transitions.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana (with support from assistants as per śrauta setting)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: ‘naryam’ = nṛṇāṃ hitakaraṃ karma; ‘apaḥ’ = waters held back by an obstruction (Vṛtra/āvaraṇa) and released for the worlds; ‘pravācyam’ = fit to be recited/proclaimed in stotra.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse is stotra-worthy praise that ritually ‘re-enacts’ the opening of channels—supporting the Soma flow and the sacrificer’s prosperity.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s deed is ‘pūrvya’ (archetypal): divine power manifests as liberation and pervasion; the gods’ might is validated by welfare for beings.", "etymology_highlights": "naryam (from nṛ/man), śavas (strength), ūrj (sap/nourishment), iṣ (desired refreshment/aim)." }
