जो (इंद्र) बाह्य साहाय्यावाचूनही, प्राचीन काळी, सांध्यांवर आवळलेल्या बंधनांना फाडून दूर करणारा; सांध पुन्हा जोडणारा संधाता; उदार दानी मघवा, बहुधन पुरूवसु; आणि विस्कटलेले पुन्हा यथास्थानी बसविणारा निष्कर्ता आहे.

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude establishing a healing/solemn register.", "udgitha": "Main narrative: bond-breaking and joint-restoring; peak on ‘ātṛdaḥ’ and ‘sandhātā’.", "pratihara": "Response emphasizing the repair motif (‘sandhim’).", "upadrava": "After-song resolving ‘vihrutaṃ punaḥ’ with lengthened finality.", "nidhana": "Unified close on ‘punaḥ’ cadence.", "structure_notes": "Shape the melody to mirror meaning: a sharper articulation at the ‘tearing away’ verb, then legato for ‘sandhātā’.", "singer_assignments": "Udgātṛ leads the semantic arc; Pratihartṛ stabilizes the repair cadence; all conclude together." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Bodily imagery illustrates Indra’s restorative power: ‘abhiśriṣa’ as binding affliction; ‘sandhātā’ as repairer who re-establishes what is broken; ‘niṣkartā’ as deliverer; he sets right what is dislocated.", "ritual_interpretation": "Applied to restoring the sacrifice when impeded or ‘dislocated’ by obstacles; also to restoring the sacrificer’s well-being.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s might is beneficent: it not only conquers but heals and reintegrates order.", "etymology_highlights": "sandhātā from √dhā with sam- ‘to put together’; niṣkartā ‘one who takes out’ (deliverer); vi-hruta ‘displaced/dislocated’." }
