Mantra 9
Aindra praise and petition: Indra invoked to hear the call from all sides and bestow wealth, cattle, and heroic power through Soma-exhilaration
एतो न्विन्द्रं स्तवाम शुद्धं शुद्धेन साम्ना शुद्धैरुक्थैर्वावृध्वांसं शुद्धैराशीर्वान्ममत्तु

ഇപ്പോൾ വരുവിൻ; ശുദ്ധനായ ഇന്ദ്രനെ ശുദ്ധ സാമനാൽ സ്തുതിക്കാം; ശുദ്ധ സ്തുതി-വചനങ്ങളാൽ വർദ്ധിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട അവനെ; ആശീർവാദങ്ങളിൽ സമൃദ്ധനായ അവൻ ശുദ്ധ സോമത്താൽ ഉല്ലസിക്കട്ടെ.

Śuddha-sāman (purity-themed Aindra chant; exact tune-name not specified in input)
{ "prastava": "(Purity-themed prastāva often kept simple; stobhas, if used, should be restrained to match śuddha-bhāva)", "udgitha": "eto nv indraṃ stavāma śuddhaṃ śuddhena sāmnā", "pratihara": "(Response around ‘śuddhair ukthair vāvṛdhvāṃsam’)", "upadrava": "śuddhair āśīrvān", "nidhana": "mamattu", "structure_notes": "Repetition of ‘śuddha’ can be distributed to reinforce each structural segment; ‘mamattu’ is a classic nidhana word for Soma-exhilaration and takes a sustained, satisfying cadence.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ sets a clean entry; Udgātṛ maintains purity of intonation; Pratihartṛ answers with matched pitch; all close together on ‘mamattu’ for a unified ‘exhilaration’ seal." }
{ "gloss_summary": "śuddha = pavitra, soma-saṃskāra-śuddhaḥ; śuddhena sāmnā = nirdoṣa-sāmagānena (faultless chant); mamattu = somena modatām (let him rejoice by Soma); āśīrvān = āśīḥ-pradaḥ.", "ritual_interpretation": "Emphasizes ritual correctness: purified Soma and faultless sāman augment Indra; the goal is Indra’s exhilaration leading to blessings.", "theological_insight": "Purity is both ontological and procedural: the deity is ‘pure’ and is approached by purity; right sound is a means of divine increase (vṛddhi).", "etymology_highlights": "mamattu glossed as ‘modatām’ (rejoice), shifting ‘intoxication’ into sacred joy; śuddhena sāmnā defined as nirdoṣa (without defect)." }
