Mantra 10

{ "gloss_summary": "devī janitrī identified as a divine generatrix (often Aditi) to ground Indra’s greatness in sanctioned origin; carṣaṇī interpreted as yajamāna-communities/worshippers; Indra’s filling of both worlds likened to Dawn’s spread.", "ritual_interpretation": "Magnifies Indra prior to Soma reception; affirms his kingship as beneficial to the sacrificer’s people.", "theological_insight": "Power is legitimate when born of the auspicious mother—divine order—thus sovereignty serves dharma.", "etymology_highlights": "samrāj—complete ruler; carṣaṇī—men/communities; janitrī—she who generates" }
