Mantra 7
Aindra soma-invocation: energizing the rite through Indra’s wealth-giving power, with Agni/Apāṃ Napāt as the kindled mediator
त्वमग्ने गृहपतिस्त्वं होता नो अध्वरे त्वं पोता विश्ववार प्रचेता ताक्षि यासि च वार्यम्
tvamagne gṛhapatistvaṃ hotā no adhvare tvaṃ potā viśvavāra pracetā tākṣi yāsi ca vāryam
tvam agne gṛhapatistvaṃ hotā no adhvare1 tvaṃ potā viśvavāra pracetā2 tākṣi yāsi ca vāryam3
હે અગ્નિ, તું ગૃહપતિ છે; યજ્ઞમાં તું અમારો હોતૃ છે; તું પોતૃ છે—વિશ્વવારા, પ્રચેત; તું (કર્મને) ઘડે છે, અને તું ઇચ્છિત વર્ય (ફળ) સુધી પહોંચે છે.

{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is identified with multiple ritual offices: gṛhapati (presiding hearth-fire), hotṛ (invoker), potṛ (purifier). ‘tākṣi’ is taken as ‘yajñaṃ saṃskarosi’—you arrange/construct the sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is the functional unity of domestic and śrauta fires and of the priestly actions that make Soma fit for offering.", "theological_insight": "A single divine principle operates through differentiated ritual roles; multiplicity of offices is a manifestation of one sacred agency.", "etymology_highlights": "tākṣi (from √takṣ ‘to fashion’): ritual as craftsmanship; potṛ as purifier/strainer function in Soma context." }
