Mantra 8
Aindra Soma-stuti: urging the Soma-offering and praising Indra’s greatness as the giver of wealth and victory
इन्द्राय साम गायत विप्राय बृहते बृहत् ब्रह्मकृते विपश्चिते पनस्यवे
indrāya sāma gāyata viprāya bṛhate bṛhat brahmakṛte vipaścite panasyave
i1ndrāya sā1ma gā1yata | vi1prāya bṛ1hate bṛ1hat | bra1hmakṛte vi1paścite pa1nasyave
ਹੇ ਵਿਪ੍ਰੋ, ਇੰਦਰ ਲਈ ਸਾਮਨ ਗਾਓ—ਵੱਡੇ ਤੇ ਬਲਵਾਨ ਰਿਸ਼ੀ ਲਈ; ਬ੍ਰਹਮਕ੍ਰਿਤ, ਵਿਪਸ਼ਚਿਤ, ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ੰਸਨੀਯ ਲਈ।
indrāya | sāma | gāyata | viprāya | bṛhate | bṛhat | brahma-kṛte | vipaścite | panasyave

{ "gloss_summary": "sāma gāyata = udgātāraḥ sāmagānam kuruta; brahmakṛt = brahma (stotra/yajña) tasya kartā—he who brings the rite to success; panasyu = stutya (praiseworthy).", "ritual_interpretation": "Instruction to the udgātṛ priests to render the sāman for Indra during Soma service.", "theological_insight": "Indra is not only a warrior but also ‘vipra/vipaścit’—the divine intelligence that makes sacred speech efficacious.", "etymology_highlights": "panasya from root pan ‘admire/praise’; vipaścit ‘vi+paś’ clear-seeing; brahma here as stotra/rite, not later abstract absolute." }
