Mantra 2
Aindra praise of Indra as the force that removes obstruction and secures victory, stability, and cosmic provisioning for the sacrifice
वृत्रस्य त्वा श्वसथादीषमाणा विश्वे देवा अजहुर्ये सखायः मरुद्भिरिन्द्र सख्यं ते अस्त्वथेमा विश्वाः पृतना जयासि

Als du, nach Atem ringend, im Kampf mit Vṛtra standest, verließen dich alle Götter, die deine Freunde sind. Mit den Maruts sei dir Freundschaft, o Indra; dann wirst du all diese Schlachten gewinnen.

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; exact not given)", "udgitha": "vṛtrasya tvā śvasathād īṣamāṇā ... ajahuḥ ye sakhāyaḥ", "pratihara": "marudbhir indra sakhyaṃ te astu", "upadrava": "atha imā viśvāḥ pṛtanāḥ", "nidhana": "jayāsi (often extended to seal victory)", "structure_notes": "The ‘instruction’ line naturally fits pratihāra as a response/correction to abandonment; nidhana ‘jayāsi’ is a strong unison closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ prelude; Udgātṛ narrative; Pratihartṛ delivers the injunction; Udgātṛ completes; all join on victory cadence." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: vṛtra is the obstructing enemy; śvasatha is fatigue/panting from battle; ‘devāḥ ajahuḥ’—other gods withdrew; ‘marudbhiḥ sakhyam’—seek Marut support in yajña; pṛtanā are battles/obstacles to be conquered.", "ritual_interpretation": "Placed in Marut-associated sequences to secure cooperative divine aid and overcome antarāyas in the sacrifice.", "theological_insight": "Victory is framed as synergy: Indra’s might becomes fully effective when aligned with Marut energy (collective prāṇa).", "etymology_highlights": "śvasatha from √śvas (to breathe/pant); pṛtanā as conflict/battle; sakhya as alliance/friendship." }
