Mantra 6
Aindra praise and petition: Indra as protector, wealth-giver, and Vṛtra-slayer invoked for bhaga, dyumna, and pauṃsya
बृहदिन्द्राय गायत मरुतो वृत्रहन्तमम् येन ज्योतिरजनयन्नृतावृधो देवं देवाय जागृवि
bṛhadindrāya gāyata maruto vṛtrahantamam yena jyotirajanayannṛtāvṛdho devaṃ devāya jāgṛvi
bṛhád índrāya gā́yata marúto vṛtra-hántamam yéna jyótir ájanayan ṛtā́vṛdho deváṃ devā́ya jā́gṛvi
Chantez, ô Maruts, pour le grand Indra, le plus puissant tueur de Vṛtra; par lui, croissant dans le ṛta, la lumière fut engendrée; vigilant, il vient — dieu vers le dieu — au sacrifice.

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude, preparing the explicit ‘gāyata’)", "udgitha": "bṛhadindrāya gāyata maruto vṛtrahantamam", "pratihara": "yena jyotirajanayan ṛtāvṛdho", "upadrava": "devaṃ devāya jāgṛvi", "nidhana": "(final hold on jāgṛvi / -vi with closing stobha)", "structure_notes": "The verse itself cues sāman praxis: imperative ‘gāyata’ sits naturally in udgītha; illumination line offers expansive pratihāra; final ‘jāgṛvi’ is a wakeful nidhana target.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "gāyata is an explicit injunction to sāman singing. ṛtāvṛdhaḥ: Indra is augmented by ṛta—by duly performed sacrifice and truth. jyotiḥ: construed as splendour/prosperity generated by Indra for the worshipper/rite. jāgṛvi: wakeful, attentive presence at the sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "A verse that legitimizes the sāman act itself; connects correct performance (ṛta) with the production of ritual jyotis.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s presence is invited as wakeful divine witness; the offering is a meeting of ‘deva for deva’.", "etymology_highlights": "ṛta-vṛdha (‘grown by ṛta’); jāgṛvi (from √jāgṛ, ‘to be awake’)." }
