Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 7
Aindra stuti as protective and cosmic sovereignty—Indra’s might expressed through solar greatness, household stability, and riddle-like ritual symbolism
यदिन्द्र प्रागपागुदग्न्यग्वा हूयसे नृभिः सिमा पुरू नृषूतो अस्यानवे ऽसि प्रशर्ध तुर्वशे
yadindra prāgapāgudagnyagvā hūyase nṛbhiḥ simā purū nṛṣūto asyānave 'si praśardha turvaśe
yad indra prāk apāk udak nyak vā hūyase nṛbhiḥ | simā purū nṛsūto asy ānave 'si praśardha turvaśe ||
インドラよ、東より、西より、北より、南より、人々に呼び招かれるとき――多くの礼拝に促されて――汝は願う者の助け手となる。汝は打ち砕く者、トゥルヴァシャ（Turvaśa）に援けを授ける者。

Aindra-stotra (tune unspecified in input)
{ "prastava": "Directional enumeration begins as prastāva-like framing (often with measured symmetry)", "udgitha": "‘…hūyase nṛbhiḥ’ and ‘simā purū…’ as main call and gathering", "pratihara": "Response on ‘asi ānave’ (helper to the suppliant)", "upadrava": "‘asi praśardha…’ (after-song: the smiting function)", "nidhana": "‘turvaśe’ (final settling; exemplum sealed as assurance)", "structure_notes": "Best sung with equal duration for each quarter term; the musical ‘mandala’ effect depends on symmetry.", "singer_assignments": "Standard trio; pratihartṛ can emphasize the ‘helper’ clause as response before udgātṛ completes the ‘smiter’ clause." }
{ "gloss_summary": "The quarters indicate universality of invocation (sarvato hūyamāna). ‘Ānava’ is the petitioner/yajamāna. ‘Turvaśa’ is cited as an exemplum of one aided by Indra; ‘praśardha’ marks Indra as crusher of foes/obstacles.", "ritual_interpretation": "Assures that the stotra’s call reaches Indra from any direction; establishes protective efficacy for the rite and the sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "Divine responsiveness is not spatially limited; the deity’s presence is invoked by sound and faith, not geography.", "etymology_highlights": "praśardha—from √śṛdh/śard ‘to crush’; ānava—connected with a supplicant sense (yācaka) in bhāṣya tradition." }
