Aindra stuti: Indra’s increase through purified stomas and the ocean-like expansion of his true power

{ "prastava": "o/ho prelude (not supplied)", "udgitha": "imā u tvā purūvaso giro vardhantu …", "pratihara": "… yā mama pāvaka-varṇāḥ śucayo …", "upadrava": "… vipaścito 'bhi …", "nidhana": "stomair anūṣata", "structure_notes": "The final ‘stomaiḥ anūṣata’ is ideal as nidhana: it names the act of chanting itself, sealing the performance reflexively.", "singer_assignments": "Udgātṛ carries the luminous middle; Pratihartṛ answers on purity terms; all join the self-referential close naming stoma." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa highlights stoma as a technical chantable praise-form; pāvaka-varṇa denotes ritual purity and brilliance of the hymn rather than mere poetic color.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra is a self-referential validation of stotra practice: wise seers have celebrated with stomas; therefore this chant increases Indra in the rite.", "theological_insight": "Divinity is ‘augmented’ through pure, well-formed praise—sound becomes a vehicle of purification and increase (vardhana).", "etymology_highlights": "pāvaka from √pū ‘to purify’; stoma as structured laud; vipaścit as ‘clear-seeing/wise’." }
