Mantra 2
Viṣṇu’s cosmic stride (trivikrama) as the paradigm of world-order and protection, adapted to Sāman praise within Soma worship

Mögen uns deine Gaben nicht versiegen, mögen uns deine Hilfen nicht versagen, o Vasu; mögen sie uns niemals trügen. Teile uns alle Reichtümer zu, menschenwürdig, und bringe sie her zu den Stämmen.

{ "prastava": "o/ho (soft entry to a supplication)", "udgitha": "mā te rādhāṃsi mā te ūtayo vaso 'smān kadā canā dabhan", "pratihara": "viśvā ca na upamimīhi", "upadrava": "mānuṣa vasūni", "nidhana": "carṣaṇibhya ā", "structure_notes": "The double ‘mā… mā…’ sits well in udgītha as a sustained plea; pratihāra highlights the key ritual request ‘upamimīhi’. Nidhana ‘ā’ naturally supports final elongation and ‘bringing-hither’ sense.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ prastāva; Udgātṛ udgītha/upadrava; Pratihartṛ pratihāra; nidhana commonly concluded collectively." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa treats ‘rādhāṃsi’ and ‘ūtayaḥ’ as Indra’s distributable boons and protections; ‘upamimīhi’ is ‘measure out in due portion’ (yathāyogya-vibhāga)—grant appropriately.", "ritual_interpretation": "A sacrificial petition: continuity of favors is requested, and their allocation is framed as proper distribution within the yajña economy.", "theological_insight": "Divine giving is orderly: not random largesse but measured bestowal aligned with ritual and fitness (mānuṣa).", "etymology_highlights": "rādh- (to prosper/benefit); ūti (help/protection); mā (prohibitive as ritual ward); mī (to measure) in upa-mimīhi." }
