जेव्हा संग्राम उसळतात आणि धृष्णु (इंद्रा)साठी धन ठरविले जाते, तेव्हा हे मदच्युत! तुझे दोन्ही हरी (श्याम/हरित अश्व) जुंप. तू कोणाला हाणशील, कोणाला वसु (समृद्धी)मध्ये स्थापशील? आम्हाला, हे इंद्रा, वसु मध्ये स्थाप.

The double ‘vasau dadhaḥ’ naturally becomes the nidhana seal through repetition and prolongation.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana on the final ‘vasau dadhaḥ’." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘ājayaḥ’ = battles undertaken for vāja; ‘dhīyate dhanam’ = wealth is assigned/placed for fruit; ‘madacyutā harī’ = two steeds that carry soma-exhilaration; ‘vasau dadhaḥ’ = place (us) in wealth.", "ritual_interpretation": "Indra is requested to arrive swiftly (yoke horses) and to allocate prosperity to the sacrificer; the mantra also implies removal of hostile claimants (‘kaṃ hanaḥ’).", "theological_insight": "Divine favor is distributive: Indra both removes adversarial forces and establishes the devotee in ‘vasu’—a stable condition of abundance.", "etymology_highlights": "‘vasu’ as wealth/substance; ‘dhṛṣṇu’ from √dhṛṣ (to be bold); ‘yuṅkṣva’ from √yuj (to yoke, discipline)." }
