ହେ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ର, ଯେତେଦୂର ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୁମେ ଅଛ, ସେତେଦୂର ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମୋତେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସାମର୍ଥ୍ୟ ମିଳୁ; ହେ ଧନଦାତା, ତୁମେ ସ୍ତୋତାକୁ ନିଯୁକ୍ତ କର; ପାପର ନିମିତ୍ତେ ମୁଁ ଆନନ୍ଦ ନ କରୁ।

{ "gloss_summary": "stotāram dadhiṣe: Indra’s niyoga—he establishes/empowers the chanter within the rite; radāvaso: giver of wealth; the final clause is read as ritual propriety—seeking no delight for sinful ends.", "ritual_interpretation": "A prayer for sanctioned praise and right intention in the Soma setting; power and enjoyment are subordinated to dharma.", "theological_insight": "Divine empowerment is coupled with moral restraint: the deity grants capability, but the sacrificer commits to non-evil enjoyment.", "etymology_highlights": "īśīya from √īś ‘to be able/rule’; dadhiṣe from √dhā ‘to place/establish’; pāpa ‘evil’ + -tva ‘state’; raṃsiṣam from √ram ‘to delight’ (desiderative/optative nuance)." }
