Aindra Soma-stuti: urging the Soma-offering and praising Indra’s greatness as the giver of wealth and victory
इन्द्र सुतेषु सोमेषु क्रतुं पुनीष उक्थ्यम् विदे वृधस्य दक्षस्य महां हि षः
indra suteṣu someṣu kratuṃ punīṣa ukthyam vide vṛdhasya dakṣasya mahāṃ hi ṣaḥ
índra2 sutéṣu2 sómeṣu2 krátum2 punī́ṣa2 ukthyám2 vidé2 vṛ́dhasya2 dákṣasya2 mahā́n2 hí2 sáḥ2
Ô Indra, dans les sucs pressés du Soma, purifie et mène à l’accomplissement l’énergie sacrificielle (krátu) pour l’adorant; tu es digne d’une louange solennelle; car il est grand, de puissance croissante et forte.

{ "gloss_summary": "kratu is yajña-śakti (effective sacrificial resolve), not mere intellect; punīṣa means ‘make fit/pure’ for success in the pressing context; ukthya connects to uktha-recitation within Soma liturgy; Indra’s greatness is grounded in ever-increasing dakṣa.", "ritual_interpretation": "At Soma pressing, the stotra requests Indra to perfect the rite’s operative power so offering yields fruit.", "theological_insight": "Divine power responds to properly formed intention and praise; efficacy (dakṣa/kratu) is sanctified through yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu (resolve/plan → ritual potency); punīṣ (to purify → to render successful/fit); ukthya (worthy of uktha)." }
