{ "gloss_summary": "‘tvāyavaḥ’ = Indra-seeking worshippers; ‘viddhi’ = jānīhi, recognize our stotra and Soma-service; ‘vaso’ marks Indra as bestower of wealth.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra petitions Indra’s attention as a prerequisite for successful oblation and the fruit (vasu).", "theological_insight": "Divine grace begins as divine cognition/acknowledgment; stuti is a valid means to draw that attention within yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "viddhi (√vid) = know/recognize; vasu = wealth/good, also ‘bright substance’ (luminous good)." }
