Mantra 2
Aindra praise framed through allied fire-aid: hymns approach the gods like a swift offering, seeking strength, cattle-wealth, and victorious bounty

Mit jener Hilfe von dir, o Agni, gleich einem Heer, wodurch wir Rinder gewinnen mögen—treibe sie zu uns hin, zur Freigebigkeit.

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude aligning the ensemble)", "udgitha": "yayā gā ākarāmahai senayāgne tavotyā", "pratihara": "tāṃ no hinva", "upadrava": "maghattaye", "nidhana": "(final sustained close on -ttaye/-ye with group unison)", "structure_notes": "The demonstrative ‘tām’ often anchors the response; ‘hinva’ is a natural cue for a rhythmic push into upadrava.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part distribution among prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ/all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "senayā: balavatīyā sahāyatā—Agni’s aid likened to an army, i.e., irresistible force in acquisition. gāḥ: paśu-rūpā rayiḥ, cattle as prime ritual wealth. maghattaye: dānāya/udāratvāya—toward bounty/generosity.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse petitions for Agni’s empowering assistance so the sacrificer obtains paśu and can sustain/extend giving and ritual patronage.", "theological_insight": "Divine help is not passive: it is organized power (senā) that actively ‘wins’ and then supports generosity as dharma.", "etymology_highlights": "utī (help) as ‘upagamanam’—that which comes near to protect; magha as ‘gift/wealth’ → maghattā ‘state of being bountiful’." }
