Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 1
Pavamāna Soma’s purifying flow as the power that exhilarates Indra for heroic action and brings wealth to the sacrificer

三つの搾り（trikadruka）において、雄牛—大いなる衝力をもつ者—は満ち足り、麦をまじえたソーマ（Soma）を、ヴィシュヌ（Viṣṇu）の助けにより搾られたものとして飲んだ。彼は大いなる業をなすために歓喜し、巨大なる障碍を打ち砕くために昂ぶった。神は神に随い仕えた——真実なる者よ、インドラ（Indra）。

{ "gloss_summary": "‘Trikadrukeṣu’ denotes the three pressings; Indra, the bull of vast impetuosity, drank Soma mixed with barley; ‘viṣṇunā suta’ indicates Viṣṇu’s ritual association/assistance in pressing; exhilarated, Indra undertook a great deed to smite a great obstruction; ‘svatya/satya’ addresses Indra as true.", "ritual_interpretation": "Tri-savana context foregrounded; yavāśira as ritual admixture; Viṣṇu named as assisting agent; the verse is apt for empowering the pressing/offerings toward obstacle-removal.", "theological_insight": "Divine cooperation: Viṣṇu’s expansive order supports Indra’s decisive action; Soma is the catalyst for cosmic work; truth (‘satya’) is the seal of successful rite.", "etymology_highlights": "trikadruka = three pressings; yavāśira = barley-mixture; mahāmuru = great impediment/obstruction; satya = true, reliable." }
