Mantra 5
Uṣas (Dawn) revealing light and opening the rite, leading into Indra’s arrival for Soma
आ त्वा सोमस्य गल्दया सदा याचन्नहं ज्या भूर्णिं मृगं न सवनेषु चुक्रुधं क ईशानं न याचिषत्
ā tvā somasya galdayā sadā yācannahaṃ jyā bhūrṇiṃ mṛgaṃ na savaneṣu cukrudhaṃ ka īśānaṃ na yāciṣat

സോമത്തിന്റെ ഗല്ദയോടെ, നിത്യവും യാചിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്, ഞാൻ സവനങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നെ വിളിക്കുന്നു—വേഗമുള്ള വന്യമൃഗത്തെ പിന്തുടരുന്നതുപോലെ; കാരണം ഈശാനനെ (പ്രഭുവിനെ) ആരാണ് അപേക്ഷിക്കാതിരിക്കുക?

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa links galdayā to Soma-preparation/pressing or a technical adjunct; savaneṣu as the three canonical pressings; the speaker is the chanter continually petitioning the lordly Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "A functional udgātṛ-invocation: at each savana, the singer ‘calls out’ so Indra comes to drink.", "theological_insight": "Indra as īśāna is the rightful recipient of petition; the rhetorical question asserts universal dependence on divine sovereignty.", "etymology_highlights": "īśāna from √īś ‘to rule’; yāc from √yāc ‘to ask/beg’; cukrudham from √krand/√rud ‘to cry out’ (intensive/iterative sense)." }
