Mantra 1
Aindra praise of Indra’s irresistible might, affirmed through repeated soma-invitation and communal submission

Wir haben ihn hier, noch gestern, den Vajrin, den Träger des Vajra, trinken lassen; darum bringe heute beim Savana den ausgepressten Soma: richtet ihn jetzt her für den Ruhmreichen (Indra), wenn er angerufen wird.

{ "prastava": "vayam enam (often with stobha lead-in)", "udgitha": "idā hyo 'pīpemeha vajriṇam", "pratihara": "tasmā u adya savane", "upadrava": "sutaṃ bharā nūnaṃ", "nidhana": "bhūṣata śrute", "structure_notes": "Temporal contrast and ritual command are highlighted by segmentation; ‘bhūṣata śrute’ forms a compact nidhana suitable for repeated settling cadence.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ drives main narrative; Pratihartṛ marks the ‘therefore/today’ pivot; Udgātṛ issues the command; all seal readiness in nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Temporal markers indicate the sequence of soma-pressings across the soma-day; apīpema is the ritual act of causing Indra to drink; bhara/bhūṣata are injunctions to bring the pressed soma and prepare it now for the renowned/invoked Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "Reinforces continuity of offerings and immediate readiness at the current savana; a practical liturgical prompt embedded in praise.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s accessibility is tied to faithful repetition and timely offering—divine response is invited through ordered continuity.", "etymology_highlights": "vajrin from vajra ‘thunderbolt’; savana from √su ‘to press’ (soma-pressing); śruta as ‘famed/heard’ and ‘when invoked/heard by call’ in ritual sense." }
