Mantra 9
Indra’s soma-joy at the Viṣūvant and his power to grant victory and wealth
चन्द्रमा अप्स्वा3न्तरा सुपर्णो धावते दिवि न वो हिरण्यनेमयः पदं विन्दन्ति विद्युतो वित्तं मे अस्य रोदसी
candramā apsvā3ntarā suparṇo dhāvate divi na vo hiraṇyanemayaḥ padaṃ vindanti vidyuto vittaṃ me asya rodasī

Луна движется среди вод; прекраснокрылый (сияющий) мчится в небе. Ваши золотокраевые (колёса) не находят его следа; молнии возвещают богатство его — этих двух миров, неба и земли.

{ "prastava": "Stobha-prelude establishing a wide tonal ‘sky’.", "udgitha": "Main descriptive flight: candramā… suparṇaḥ… dhāvate divi.", "pratihara": "Responsive emphasis on untraceability: na vaḥ… padam vindanti.", "upadrava": "Lightning/wealth declaration: vidyuto… vittam…", "nidhana": "Final grounding on ‘rodasī’ (the two worlds) with stable cadence.", "structure_notes": "This verse benefits from clear segmentation: ‘motion’ → ‘untraceable’ → ‘revelation’ → ‘two-world closure’.", "singer_assignments": "Standard Sāmavedic roles: Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha/upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), all (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa typically reads the cosmological statements as magnifying praise: moon amid waters, swift radiant movement in the sky, untraceable path, lightning as declarer of wealth spanning heaven and earth.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Apsu’ can be linked to ritual waters/Soma context; the verse functions as a stuti that enlarges the deity’s majesty at the pressing.", "theological_insight": "The deity’s domain exceeds ordinary tracking (‘padam’); signs like lightning reveal sovereignty and abundance across the cosmic pair (rodasī).", "etymology_highlights": "suparṇa = ‘fair-winged’; rodasī = the dual ‘heaven-and-earth’." }
