Aindra invocation: Indra’s manifest presence at the rite and his vṛtra-slaying power securing success for the sacrificers
न कि देवा इनीमसि न क्या योपयामसि मन्त्रश्रुत्यं चरामसि
na ki devā inīmasi na kyā yopayāmasi mantraśrutyaṃ carāmasi
ná1 kí devā́2 inī́masi ná1 kyā́2 upayā́masi mantráśrutyáṃ2 carā́masi
Sedikit pun kami tidak lalai, wahai para dewa, untuk memuja kamu; sedikit pun kami tidak gagal mendekati kamu: kami menunaikan upacara sebagaimana didengar dalam mantra suci.
na | ki | devāḥ | inīmasi | na | kyā | upa-yāmasi | mantra-śrutyam | carāmasi

{ "prastava": "(Typical) stobha-led opening such as ‘hā u’ or ‘om’ in gāna form; exact stobhas not supplied.", "udgitha": "Text-bearing core: ‘na ki devā inīmasi …’ elongated on key vowels per sāman practice.", "pratihara": "Brief responsorial return mirroring the udgītha cadence (often on a stobha or repeated segment).", "upadrava": "Second text-bearing continuation culminating in ‘carāmasi’ with lengthened final vowel.", "nidhana": "Closing stobha/cadence (often ‘hā’/‘i’/‘om’ depending on sāman); not specified here.", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna, only the canonical fivefold allocation can be given; in performance, mantraśrutyam often receives emphasis via prolongation to signal ‘śruti-authority’.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa emphasizes mantraśrutyam as the authoritative ‘heard’ liturgical form; carāmasi is regular performance according to prescription; the negations stress absence of lapse in worship/approach.", "ritual_interpretation": "A self-attestation by the singers that the stotra is executed in conformity with śruti, ensuring yajña-validity.", "theological_insight": "Divine accessibility is mediated by correct sound-form; fidelity to śruti is itself a devotional act.", "etymology_highlights": "śruti = ‘that which is heard’; car- (‘to move/practice’) → carāmasi ‘we carry out/observe’." }
