உன் துணைகளால், உன் சொந்த மங்கள உதவிகளால் எங்களை அணுகு, ஓ வெள்ளக்-கதிர் (அம்ஶுமான்), ஓ ப்ரசேதன (முன்னறிவோனே)! ஓ இந்திரா, புகழ்-ஒளிக்காகவும் ஊட்டத்திற்காகவும் எங்களைத் தூண்டு.

Aindra-sāman (generic; specific gāna-name not supplied in input)
{ "prastava": "Stobha-based lead-in preparing the compact gāyatrī text; sets tonal center.", "udgitha": "Main delivery of ābhiṣṭvam…arṇāṃśuḥ…pracetana with emphasis on epithets.", "pratihara": "Short response stabilizing the phrase before the blessing clause.", "upadrava": "pracetayendra dyumnāya na iṣe often receives a second, more expansive pass in sāman style.", "nidhana": "Closing cadence (recension-dependent) unifying the singers.", "structure_notes": "Because the verse is compact, sāman performance typically expands through repetition and stobhas to achieve full five-part form.", "singer_assignments": "Standard udgātṛ group distribution as in Kauthuma practice." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: abhiṣṭi = rakṣaṇa-sādhana (means of protection) within the rite; iṣ = anna/bala (nourishment/strength) derived from offerings; pracetaya glossed as jñāpayā—make (us) know/inspire.", "ritual_interpretation": "Indra is invoked to approach the Soma-session with protective agencies and to awaken the sacrificer’s effective cognition for ritual success (dyumna) and sustenance (iṣ).", "theological_insight": "Protection and inspiration are inseparable: divine aid both guards the rite and illumines the mind that performs it.", "etymology_highlights": "abhiṣṭi from √iṣ/√iṣṭ ‘to seek/aid’ as ‘that which is sought as help’; iṣ as ‘refreshing power’/food-energy." }
