Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
इलोपहूतयोगेन हरे भागं क्रतुष्वहम् । वर्णश्न मे हरि: श्रेष्ठस्तस्माद्धरिरहं स्मृत:
ilopahūtayogena hare bhāgaṃ kratuṣv aham | varṇaś ca me hariḥ śreṣṭhas tasmād dharir ahaṃ smṛtaḥ ||
インドラは、自らが「ハリ（Hari）」と呼ばれる理由を説く。祭祀において「ilopahūtā…」に始まる句によって招請されるとき、彼は定められた供物の分け前を受け取る。またその身の色もハリ—青みを帯びた暗い黒—であるがゆえに、「ハリ」の名で記憶されるのである。

Divine names are not arbitrary: they can arise from a deity’s ritual role (accepting the sacrificial share) and from symbolic attributes (hari-colored complexion). The verse ties reverence to dharmic ritual order and meaningful nomenclature.
Indra is explaining the basis for the epithet “Hari,” stating that when invoked by a specific sacrificial formula he receives his portion, and that his own color is hari; hence he is remembered by that name.
