{ "gloss_summary": "rājati is taken in two complementary senses: aiśvarya (rules) and dīpti (shines), both befitting Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "Indra’s universal lordship is invoked so the Soma-offering yields victory and abundance under his protection.", "theological_insight": "Sovereignty and radiance are inseparable: true rulership is the manifestation of divine splendour (tejas) in the yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "rājati ← √rāj (to rule/shine); viśva ‘all’ indicates comprehensive dominion." }
