ഹേ അധ്വര്യു, സോമം ഒഴുകാൻ വിടുക; ഇന്ദ്രൻ ദാഹിക്കുന്നു. ഇപ്പോൾ തീർച്ചയായും അവൻ തന്റെ ശക്തിയുള്ള മഞ്ഞനിറമുള്ള (ഹരീ) അശ്വങ്ങളെ യോജിപ്പിച്ചു; വൃത്രഹാ ഇവിടെ എത്തിച്ചേർന്നിരിക്കുന്നു.

{ "gloss_summary": "drāvaya is a direct injunction to the Adhvaryu to expedite Soma’s issuing for offering; Indra’s thirst motivates urgency; yoking the harī indicates readiness; vṛtrahā marks Indra’s decisive identity.", "ritual_interpretation": "A cue-verse synchronizing chant with pressing/straining and immediate offering to Indra.", "theological_insight": "The deity’s ‘arrival’ is not abstract: it is ritually enacted by correct action and correct sound, culminating in the Vṛtra-slayer’s presence.", "etymology_highlights": "drāvaya from √dru/√drav ‘to run/flow’; pipāsati from √pā ‘to drink’ (desiderative ‘thirst’); vṛtrahā as karmadhāraya ‘Vṛtra-slayer’." }
