Oh Indra, conocedor de la fuerza, firme, héroe preeminente; poderoso, dador del premio, vencedor, terrible; que supera a los héroes, que asalta con poder, nacido de la fuerza, victorioso — sube al carro y concédenos la ganancia de vacas (govit).

{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, commonly with o/ho/hā expansions before the first lexical segment)", "udgitha": "balavijñāyaḥ…ugraḥ (epithet chain as the main melodic body)", "pratihara": "abhivīro…jaitram (responsive reinforcement of victory epithets)", "upadrava": "indra ratham ā tiṣṭha (imperative carried with heightened pitch emphasis)", "nidhana": "govit (cadential ‘boon-word’ prolonged)", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma performance, long epithet strings often distribute across udgītha/pratihāra for antiphonal clarity; the boon-term becomes the nidhana anchor.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa reads the epithets as assurances of Indra’s competence: he knows strength, is steadfast and foremost, mighty and prize-winning, overpowering and fierce, surpassing heroes and born of might; therefore he can grant ‘go-vit’ (winning of cows/prize).", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Go’ signifies the tangible fruit of victory and prosperity in Soma ideology; the imperative ‘mount the chariot’ is an āhvāna (invitation) for Indra to approach the offering.", "theological_insight": "Praise (stuti) is performative: naming Indra’s powers makes them operative in the rite; victory is a divine function mediated through correct chant.", "etymology_highlights": "go-vit: ‘go’ (cattle/wealth/light) + ‘vit’ (finding/winning); vājī from vāja (prize, vigor); ugra as ‘one who makes others tremble’." }
