Sāyaṇa Commentary

{ "gloss_summary": "vṛtra is read broadly as all impediments to sacrifice and its fruits; Indra’s slaying is removal of ritual obstacles; rayi/ratna/vāja are sacrificial fruits granted to the dāśuṣ (worshipper/donor).", "ritual_interpretation": "Indra ensures the smooth flow of the rite by destroying hindrances and delivering wealth and victory-prize to the patron.", "theological_insight": "Divine heroism is expressed as ritual functionality—power that protects the yajña and returns blessings.", "etymology_highlights": "vṛtra from √vṛ (to cover/obstruct); vāja as strength/prize; dāśuṣ from √dāś (to worship/serve/give)." }
