Dashati 5

Aindra stuti: Indra praised as the wealth-giver who is strengthened by well-sung Sāman and who carries the sacrificer to prosperity

Deity

Indra

Melodic Character

Vigorous and laudatory (utsāha) with a confident expansive cadence typical of Aindra praise

Rishi Family

Ṛṣi attribution is not supplied here; the verses reflect common RV-style Indra-stuti diction and the Aindra placement indicates a tradition of Indra-praise seers rather than a single clearly marked family in this excerpt.

インドラ讃歌(Aindra stuti):よく歌われたサーマンの正しい讃嘆(suṣṭuti)によってインドラを力づけ、富と恵みを授けさせ、祭主を繁栄へと「渡し運ぶ」。讃歌と供物は戦車馬を整えるように丹念に調え磨かれ、求める果報は子孫・家系の継続(toke/tanaye)にも及ぶ。さらにインドラ群の中にアグニが吉祥で光輝ある祭儀の臨在として現れ、供献の場を正当化し、望まれる賜与(rādhas)の成就を封印する。

Frequently Asked Questions

That Indra responds to correctly performed praise: the well-sung Sāman strengthens the deity and returns as prosperity—wealth, success of the rite, and continuity of the family line.

It is a ritual metaphor: just as a horse is carefully prepared for a journey, the worshippers ‘polish’ the rite by precise words and chant so the desired bounty can be brought safely to them.

Agni often appears as the auspicious, luminous presence of the sacrifice itself; his epiphany imagery reinforces that the rite is properly established, supporting the Indra-invocation and its fruits.
