Frequently Asked Questions
To bring Indra swiftly to the current Soma-offering, make him drink and rejoice, and thereby produce prosperity-signs such as cattle increase, household security, and victory.
The Sun functions as a witness and emblem of visible splendour—success is asked to be ‘made manifest’ publicly, under solar light, while Indra is the active giver of power and wealth.
Traditionally it belongs to Soma-liturgy, but later practice may substitute an appropriate offering (sweet drink/oblations) and keep the core intent: invite Indra, offer, and pray for strength, prosperity, and victory.
