Mantra 10
Aindra invocation: Indra’s manifest presence at the rite and his vṛtra-slaying power securing success for the sacrificers
वात आ वातु बेषजं शम्भु मयोभु नो हृदे प्र न अयूंषि तारिषत्
vāta ā vātu beṣajaṃ śambhu mayobhu no hṛde pra na ayūṃṣi tāriṣat

വാതാ, ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു വീശുക; ഔഷധമായ ചികിത്സ—ശംഭു, മയോഭു—ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഹൃദയത്തിലേക്കു കൊണ്ടുവരിക. അവൻ ഞങ്ങളുടെ പ്രാണശക്തികളെ സുരക്ഷിതമായി കടത്തട്ടെ.

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses bheṣaja as a concrete remedy ensuring health and freedom from affliction that would hinder sacrifice; tāriṣat is ‘carry across’ dangers, preserving life for continued performance.", "ritual_interpretation": "Health and longevity are requested as ritual prerequisites; Vāta is invoked to keep the sacrificer and priests fit and the rite unimpeded.", "theological_insight": "Divine wind is benevolent—śambhu and mayobhu—its movement is grace that restores and protects life.", "etymology_highlights": "bheṣaja: ‘that which removes fear/illness’; tāriṣat from √tṝ ‘to cross, carry over’; ayūṃṣi: vital lives/energies." }
