Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 12
Aindra victory and wealth secured through Soma’s purifying flow and Indra-invocation

{ "gloss_summary": "The hymns/insights rush like water-waves toward Soma; they approach with reverence, enter together, eager for the desired Soma.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Waves’ are rushing streams in soma-process and/or praises moving toward soma-vessel; ‘entering’ indicates reaching the rite’s locus and the gods’ acceptance-sphere.", "theological_insight": "Praise is not merely speech but a moving force that ‘approaches’ and ‘enters’ the divine through the medium of Soma.", "etymology_highlights": "ūrmī ‘wave’; uśat ‘desiring’ and uśantam ‘desired’; namas ‘bow/adoration’ as inner submission." }
