Mantra 9
Aindra praise seeking Indra’s manifest bounty and protective heavenly aid in the sacrifice
अमी ये देवा स्थन मध्य आ रोचने दिवः कद्व ऋतं कदमृतं का प्रत्ना व आहुतिः
amī ye devā sthana madhya ā rocane divaḥ kadva ṛtaṃ kadamṛtaṃ kā pratnā va āhutiḥ
amī1 ye2 devāḥ3 sthana1 madhya2 ā3 rocane1 divaḥ2 kad3 va1 ṛtaṃ2 kad3 amṛtaṃ1 kā2 pratnā3 va1 āhutiḥ2
Para dewa itu yang berdiam di tengah langit yang bercahaya—apakah ṛta mereka, apakah amṛta (keabadian) mereka, dan apakah āhuti purba yang menjadi milik mereka?

Aindra (generic/unspecified in input)
{ "prastava": "Soft stobha prelude; sets a ‘questioning’ space with restrained volume.", "udgitha": "Text through ‘amī ye devāḥ… rocane divaḥ’.", "pratihara": "Echo/response emphasizing ‘kat va ṛtam’.", "upadrava": "Second inquiry ‘kat amṛtam kā pratnā…’.", "nidhana": "Closure on ‘āhutiḥ’ with collective sustain, as if ‘placing’ the offering in sound.", "structure_notes": "Avoid over-ornamenting; let interrogatives be crisp and the nouns be sustained.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part distribution among Sāmavedic singers." }
{ "gloss_summary": "ṛta is right ordinance—especially the correctly performed sacrificial order; āhuti is the established oblation-formula/substance sustaining the gods; the interrogatives invite reflection on these principles.", "ritual_interpretation": "Directs performers to consider correctness of sequence and offering; supports precision in stotra/śastra and oblation timing.", "theological_insight": "The gods’ ‘immortality’ is tied to ṛta—divine continuity is maintained through lawful order and perennial offering.", "etymology_highlights": "ṛta from √ṛ ‘to go, to fit’ → that which is properly fitted/ordered; amṛta ‘not-mortal’; āhuti from ā-√hu ‘to offer/invoke’." }
