आ नो रत्नानि बिभ्रतावश्विना गच्छतं युवम् रुद्रा हिरण्यवर्त्तनी जुषाणा वाजिनीवसू माध्वी मम श्रुतं हवम्
ā no ratnāni bibhratāvaśvinā gacchataṃ yuvam rudrā hiraṇyavarttanī juṣāṇā vājinīvasū mādhvī mama śrutaṃ havam
ā́ no rátnāni bíbhratāśvinā gácchataṃ yuvám | rudrā́ hiraṇyavárttanī juṣā́ṇā vā́jinīvasū mā́dhvī máma śrutáṃ hávam ||
ഹേ അശ്വിന്മാരേ, ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു രത്നധനങ്ങൾ വഹിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു വരുവിൻ; ഹേ രുദ്രസദൃശരേ, സ്വർണ്ണപഥമുള്ളവരേ, ഞങ്ങളുടെ സേവാ-സ്തുതിയിൽ പ്രസന്നരായ അശ്വ-ധനാധിപന്മാരേ—എന്റെ മാധ്വീ (മധുര) ഹവം/ആഹ്വാനം ശ്രവിക്കുവിൻ.

{ "gloss_summary": "Aśvins are asked to come bearing treasures (ratnāni) to us; called mighty (rudrā), golden-tracked, accepting (juṣāṇā) our service, possessors of steeds and wealth; requested to hear the sweet invocation.", "ritual_interpretation": "ratnāni are sacrificial rewards—cattle, food, fame, success; juṣāṇā is central: the gods ‘accept/enjoy’ the stotra, thereby validating the offering.", "theological_insight": "Divine generosity is conditioned by divine acceptance—ritual is a relationship, sealed when the offering is ‘enjoyed’.", "etymology_highlights": "juṣāṇā from √juṣ (to enjoy/accept); ratna as precious boon; vājinī (swift/steed-force) + vasu (wealth)." }
