ஓ வஜ்ரின்! எங்களுக்குத் தனமும் சிறந்த வீரியமும் (ஸுவீர்யம்) அருள்வாயாக. எங்கள் விருப்பத்தின்படி நீ வலங்களின் (வாஜ) அதிபதியாக இருப்பாயாக. ஓ மிகுந்த தானவான், நீ நரர்களிடையே ஒளிமிக்கவனாக விளங்குகிறாய்—வீரர்களில் மிகப் பலவானவன் நீயே.

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: suvīrya = śobhanaṃ vīryam (excellent potency/valor). vaśām anu = yajamānasya vaśānusāreṇa—according to the sacrificer’s intention/wish. Indra is praised as maṃhiṣṭha and as shining (ṛñjase) through stuti and offering.", "ritual_interpretation": "A boon-request stotra: asks for wealth and ritual/heroic efficacy as fruits of correct Soma worship, aligned with the patron’s sankalpa.", "theological_insight": "Divine giving responds to rightly ordered desire; the rite trains desire to become fit for gift.", "etymology_highlights": "suvīrya (su+vīrya) ‘good/beautiful vigor’; vaśa ‘will/control’ indicating alignment rather than mere craving." }
