インドラへのソーマ招請:甘露(madhu)のごときソーマを搾り、捧げて飲ませ、宇宙的な力をもって祝福と守護を解き放ち、施し(rādhāṃsi)を推し進めるよう請い願う。インドラの主権と威力を讃え、天と地を広げ、太陽を輝かせ、諸世界を安定させると歌う。祭儀は言葉と行為の協働(giraḥ + yajñāsaḥ)によって成就し、さらに顕現して明るい媒介者アグニが讃歌と供物を受け取り運んで、救護(ūtī)を確かなものとする。

Frequently Asked Questions

It centers on offering pressed Soma to Indra and praising him as the mighty power who, by accepting Soma, drives blessings toward the worshipper and upholds the cosmos.

Agni is invoked as the visible, altar-present mediator: hymns and sacrifices ‘go to’ him so the offering and praise are properly conveyed, supporting the Indra-invocation.

The verses link Indra’s world-ordering deeds (expanding heaven and earth, making the sun shine, stabilizing the worlds) with his sustaining presence in the sacrifice, where Soma-juices are pressed specifically for him.
