Aindra stotra: praising and summoning Indra to partake of the fostering Soma and to grant protection and bounty
पान्तमा वो अन्धस इन्द्रमभि प्र गायत विश्वासाहं शतक्रतुं मंहिष्ठं चर्षणीनाम्
pāntamā vo andhasa indramabhi pra gāyata viśvāsāhaṃ śatakratuṃ maṃhiṣṭhaṃ carṣaṇīnām
pā́ntamā vo ándhasa índram abhí prá gāyata | viśvā́sāhaṃ śátakratuṃ maṃhíṣṭhaṃ carṣaṇī́nām ||
ഹേ ജനങ്ങളേ, നിങ്ങള്ക്കായി പോഷകമായ സോമ-അന്ധസോടെ ഇന്ദ്രനോടു അഭിമുഖമായി പാടുവിൻ; സർവ്വവിജയി, ശതക്രതു, മനുഷ്യരിൽ മഹിഷ്ഠൻ—അത്യുദാരൻ—അവനെ പാടുവിൻ.
pāntamāḥ vaḥ andhasaḥ indram abhi pra gāyata viśva-sāham śata-kratum maṃhiṣṭham carṣaṇīnām
Aindra Sāman (stotra injunction; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; often short to allow quick entry into the command)", "udgitha": "pā́ntamā vo ándhasa índram abhí prá gāyata", "pratihara": "(response reinforcing the call)", "upadrava": "viśvā́sāhaṃ śátakratuṃ maṃhíṣṭhaṃ carṣaṇī́nām", "nidhana": "(strong collective cadence; may be repeated in uha settings)", "structure_notes": "Because this is an injunction, keep transitions crisp; avoid over-ornamenting consonant clusters so the command remains intelligible.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues; Udgātṛ delivers the imperative; Pratihartṛ anchors response; all seal the command in nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "pāntamāḥ andhasaḥ = most protecting Soma-juices; gāyata = sing (addressed to sāman-singers); viśvāsāh/śatakratu/maṃhiṣṭha = Indra’s epithets praising his conquering power, manifold energies, and generosity.", "ritual_interpretation": "A direct liturgical instruction to commence/strengthen the stotra to Indra with Soma offerings.", "theological_insight": "Praise is performative: the sung offering both honors and empowers the deity, who in turn bestows protection and wealth.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu as ‘power/resolve/ability’ in śatakratu; andhas as Soma-juice; maṃh (in maṃhiṣṭha) connected with ‘bounty/gift’." }
