He, verily, mounts that vigorous chariot, the finder of kine—he who takes note, O Indra, of the vessel, harnessed for the tawny steeds, filled (with Soma): yoke, O Indra, thy two tawny horses.

Aindra Sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "Energetic stobha establishing directive contour", "udgitha": "sa ghā taṃ vṛṣaṇaṃ ... ciketati", "pratihara": "Responsive reinforcement around ‘pātram ... pūrṇam’ (readiness theme)", "upadrava": "Short after-song leading into the imperative", "nidhana": "yojā nvindra te harī (collective, refrain-like closure)", "structure_notes": "Because the last segment is imperative and memorable, it often serves as nidhana with strong unison; keep it rhythmically tight.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ; all join strongly on the yoking nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Indra mounts the vigorous chariot; as ‘govid’ he recovers cows/wealth. He ‘takes note’ of the Soma vessel prepared for his tawny horses and filled; therefore the singers say: yoke your two tawny horses, Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Pātra’ is the Soma-cup; ‘pūrṇam’ indicates readiness of oblation; the chant functions as āvāhana (invocation) at the offering moment.", "theological_insight": "Divine response is linked to preparedness: when the offering is complete, the deity’s attention is drawn; invocation becomes effective command within friendship of yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "govid (go ‘cow/light’ + vid ‘to find/know’); yojānu (imperative from √yuj ‘to yoke’); harī (tawny horses)." }
