Sukta 86
Rishi: Rigvedic attribution (Indra hymn tradition; specific r̥ṣi per RV source).
Devata: Indra (with Soma as ritual focus)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (typical of Indra-stotras; source-dependent)
AV 20.86 ialah ulangan stotra Indra satu-bait daripada arus liturgi Soma Rigveda, yang bertujuan untuk ‘memasang kuk’ kuda-kuda Indra yang kekuningan melalui brahman (ucapan sakral) dan menariknya dengan segera ke persembahan Soma. Kekuatan mantra ini terletak pada undangan ritual: ia meneguhkan kereta Indra, menegaskan kebijaksanaan serta kesiapannya untuk turut menikmati, dan dengan itu mengarah kepada kemenangan, kekuatan, serta penyempurnaan pemerasan/jamuan tanpa halangan.
