ഹേ ഇന്ദ്രാ, നീ എത്രത്തോളം വ്യാപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നുവോ അത്രത്തോളം എനിക്കും ശക്തി ലഭിക്കട്ടെ; ഹേ ധനദാതാവേ, നീ സ്തോതാവിനെ തന്നേ നിയോഗിക്കുന്നു; പാപത്തിനായി ഞാൻ ആനന്ദിക്കരുതേ.

{ "gloss_summary": "stotāram dadhiṣe: Indra’s niyoga—he establishes/empowers the chanter within the rite; radāvaso: giver of wealth; the final clause is read as ritual propriety—seeking no delight for sinful ends.", "ritual_interpretation": "A prayer for sanctioned praise and right intention in the Soma setting; power and enjoyment are subordinated to dharma.", "theological_insight": "Divine empowerment is coupled with moral restraint: the deity grants capability, but the sacrificer commits to non-evil enjoyment.", "etymology_highlights": "īśīya from √īś ‘to be able/rule’; dadhiṣe from √dhā ‘to place/establish’; pāpa ‘evil’ + -tva ‘state’; raṃsiṣam from √ram ‘to delight’ (desiderative/optative nuance)." }
