Par une aide puissante vient le Radieux, le rougeoyant (aruṇa), le héros aux belles ailes (suparṇa), au siège très ancien. Tout ce qu’il discerne, cela est vraiment vrai et non en vain : il est le vainqueur et le donateur de richesses désirables.

{ "gloss_summary": "Epithets are functional: ‘strength’ indicates capacity to make the rite succeed; what the deity ‘discerns’ becomes true; ‘not vain’ indicates the offering is not frustrated when the god is present; the deity is both conqueror and benefactor of desirable wealth.", "ritual_interpretation": "Presence of the deity guarantees amoghatva (non-failure) of the sacrifice and its phala (reward).", "theological_insight": "Divine cognition (ciketa) is infallible; therefore divine sanction makes the sacrificer’s aim satya (realized).", "etymology_highlights": "Notes on mogha (fruitless) vs amogha (unfailing efficacy); emphasis on dātṛ/jetṛ roles as paired functions of Indra." }
