Mantra 3
Aindra praise invoking Indra’s sovereign power to hear the stotra and grant victory, abundance, and unhindered ritual progress
समस्य मन्यवे विशो विश्वा नमन्त कृष्टयः समुद्रायेव सिन्धवः
samasya manyave viśo viśvā namanta kṛṣṭayaḥ samudrāyeva sindhavaḥ
ഈ സാമനിൽ സ്തുതിക്കപ്പെടുന്നവന്റെ ഉഗ്രമായ മന്യു (പ്രചണ്ഡശക്തി) മുമ്പിൽ എല്ലാ വിശഃ, എല്ലാ കൃഷ്ടയഃ നമിക്കുന്നു—നദികൾ സമുദ്രത്തിലേക്ക് ഒഴുകുന്നതുപോലെ.
