Mantra 8
Soma Pavamāna’s ordered purification and forward flow through the pavitra for divine enjoyment and ritual success
अग्ने तमद्याश्वं न स्तोमैः क्रतुं न भद्रं हृदिस्पृशम् ऋध्यामा त ओहैः
agne tamadyāśvaṃ na stomaiḥ kratuṃ na bhadraṃ hṛdispṛśam ṛdhyāmā ta ohaiḥ
ágne táṃ adyā́śvaṃ ná stómaiḥ krátum ná bhadráṃ hṛ́dispṛśam ṛdhyā́mā te óhaiḥ
Wahai Agni, pada hari ini kami menggerakkan-Mu, laksana kuda, dengan stotra (stomaiḥ); (Engkau) sebagai kuasa yang membawa berkat, menyentuh hati (hṛdispṛśam); semoga kami makmur dengan seruan-invokasi kami kepada-Mu (ohaiḥ).

{ "prastava": "o vā / hā (agneya prastāva often compact; exact gāna not supplied)", "udgitha": "agne tam adyāśvaṃ na stomaiḥ", "pratihara": "kratuṃ na bhadraṃ hṛdispṛśam", "upadrava": "ṛdhyāmā te ohaiḥ", "nidhana": "hā u / om (closing)", "structure_notes": "The similes (‘aśvaṃ na’, ‘kratuṃ na’) can be musically mirrored by paired phrases; keep ‘hṛdispṛśam’ tender and slightly softened in tone.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ leads main and after-song; Pratihartṛ answers; all close." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Similes are exhortative: as a horse is urged to speed, so Agni is stimulated by stoma; ‘kratu’ is Agni’s sacrificial efficacy (yajña-sādhanatva); ‘ohaiḥ’ are calls of invitation that bring Agni to the offering.", "ritual_interpretation": "Directly tied to inviting and empowering Agni for successful conveyance of offerings; prosperity (ṛdhyāma) is the rite’s fruit.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both power and benevolence—fierce capability made auspicious when touched by praise and devotion.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu from √kṛ (to do) in sense of effective resolve; oha as ‘call/summons’; hṛdispṛś = ‘touching the heart’ (hṛd + spṛś)." }
