Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 7
Aindra soma-invocation: energizing the rite through Indra’s wealth-giving power, with Agni/Apāṃ Napāt as the kindled mediator
त्वमग्ने गृहपतिस्त्वं होता नो अध्वरे त्वं पोता विश्ववार प्रचेता ताक्षि यासि च वार्यम्
tvamagne gṛhapatistvaṃ hotā no adhvare tvaṃ potā viśvavāra pracetā tākṣi yāsi ca vāryam
tvam agne gṛhapatistvaṃ hotā no adhvare1 tvaṃ potā viśvavāra pracetā2 tākṣi yāsi ca vāryam3
Ты, Агни, — владыка дома; ты — наш Хотар в жертвоприношении; ты — Потар, всежеланный, мудрый: ты созидаешь — и достигаешь желанной награды.

{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is identified with multiple ritual offices: gṛhapati (presiding hearth-fire), hotṛ (invoker), potṛ (purifier). ‘tākṣi’ is taken as ‘yajñaṃ saṃskarosi’—you arrange/construct the sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is the functional unity of domestic and śrauta fires and of the priestly actions that make Soma fit for offering.", "theological_insight": "A single divine principle operates through differentiated ritual roles; multiplicity of offices is a manifestation of one sacred agency.", "etymology_highlights": "tākṣi (from √takṣ ‘to fashion’): ritual as craftsmanship; potṛ as purifier/strainer function in Soma context." }
