汝はまことに来たれ、礼拝する者のもとへ。福分（bhaga）を携え、富を得しめよ。寛施の者（maghavan）インドラよ、牛を勝ち得るために降り注げ。さらに注げ、インドラよ—望まれし成就のための馬を。

{ "prastava": null, "udgitha": null, "pratihara": null, "upadrava": null, "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "The two ‘ud’ clauses naturally divide into pratihāra/upadrava responsorial feel; final ‘iṣṭaye’ is well-suited to nidhana closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ sets the invitation; Udgātṛ carries the ‘raining’ clauses; all join at the end to affirm desired attainment." }
{ "gloss_summary": "bhaga is ‘vibhajya-dhana’—apportioned share of wealth granted at sacrifice. ud-vāvṛṣasva is Indra’s raining of gifts in response to stotra. gaviṣṭi and aśva are concrete prosperity sought as fruit of rite.", "ritual_interpretation": "An arrival-and-boon request appropriate when inviting Indra to partake and reward the yajamāna—wealth, cattle, and horse as ritual fruits.", "theological_insight": "Divine giving is orderly (bhaga as share), not arbitrary; the rite aligns human desire (iṣṭi) with cosmic distribution.", "etymology_highlights": "bhaga ‘share/portion’; vāvṛṣasva from √vṛṣ ‘to rain/pour’; gaviṣṭi ‘quest for cows’." }
