吉祥にわれらは呼び招かん、施し豊かなインドラ（Indra）を、この戦いにおいて――戦利を得るに最も勇猛なる者を。讃歌を聴き、戦陣にて救いのために来たる猛き者、諸ヴリトラ（Vṛtra）を打ち砕き、財宝を勝ち取る者を。

{ "prastava": "hā / o (invocatory prelude)", "udgitha": "śunaṃ huvema ... vājasātau (core call and identification)", "pratihara": "ho-i (response; reinforces invocation)", "upadrava": "śṛṇvantam ugram ... sañjitaṃ dhanāni (action and fruits)", "nidhana": "hā-u-om (victory seal)", "structure_notes": "Invocatory opening often benefits from a clear prastāva cue and tight ensemble timing to ‘launch’ the call.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ launches; Udgātṛ drives the call; Pratihartṛ answers crisply; nidhana unified." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘bhare/samatsu’ are read as contests against impediments and rivals; ‘śṛṇvantam’ highlights the need for properly uttered stotra so the deity ‘hears’; ‘dhnantaṃ vṛtrāṇi’ generalizes to smiting obstacles; ‘sañjitaṃ dhanāni’ indicates wealth gained by Indra’s victory.", "ritual_interpretation": "The stotra is protective and success-bringing in the yajña; Indra’s hearing is invoked as the condition for aid.", "theological_insight": "Divine response is linked to correct sound: the sung sāman is the vehicle by which Indra becomes attentive and operative.", "etymology_highlights": "‘śunam’ as auspicious/prosperous; ‘vāja’ as strength/prize; ‘vṛtra’ as covering/obstruction, hence plural ‘vṛtrāṇi’ as many hindrances." }
