Mantra 5
Indra’s swift, bull-like approach to the Soma-seat and his sure hearing of the stotra
श्रायन्त इव सूर्यं विश्वेदिन्द्रस्य भक्षत वसूनि जातो जनिमान्योजसा प्रति भागं न दीधिमः
śrāyanta iva sūryaṃ viśvedindrasya bhakṣata vasūni jāto janimānyojasā prati bhāgaṃ na dīdhimaḥ

Seperti orang-orang mendesak menuju matahari, demikianlah semua (pemuja) mengambil bagian dari Indra; kekayaan-kekayaan, kelahiran-kelahiran (hasil) ditumbuhkan oleh dayanya; kami tidak mengurangi bagian yang telah ditetapkan.

{ "gloss_summary": "Worshippers press toward Indra as toward the sun; they ‘bhakṣata’—receive/partake—of Indra’s bounty. Riches and productions arise by his ojas. ‘Prati bhāgam’ indicates the due allotment; ‘na dīdhimaḥ’—we do not diminish or violate the proper share.", "ritual_interpretation": "Bhakṣaṇa is read as participation in the deity’s portion through sacrifice; the rite requires exact distribution of offerings and rewards (bhāga) without transgression.", "theological_insight": "Divine abundance is not chaotic: Indra’s power generates plenty within order; dharmic measure preserves prosperity.", "etymology_highlights": "bhāga as allotted portion; ojas as vigor/strength; bhakṣ as to partake/consume (ritually receive)." }
