Mantra 5
Aindra praise invoking Indra’s sovereign power to hear the stotra and grant victory, abundance, and unhindered ritual progress
सोमानां स्वरणं कृणुहि ब्रह्मणस्पते कक्षीवन्तं य औशिजः
somānāṃ svaraṇaṃ kṛṇuhi brahmaṇaspate kakṣīvantaṃ ya auśijaḥ
somānāṁ svaraṇaṁ kṛṇuhi brahmaṇaspate kakṣīvantaṁ ya auśijaḥ
โอ้พรหมณัสปติ (Brahmaṇaspati) เจ้าแห่งบทสวด โปรดทำให้เครื่องบูชาโสมะ (Soma) ส่องประกายรุ่งเรือง และเปล่งเสียงทำนองให้ถูกต้อง; ขอให้กักษีวันต์ (Kakṣīvant, Auśija) บุตรแห่งอุศิช เจริญรุ่งเรืองด้วยเถิด.

{ "gloss_summary": "Svaraṇa is connected with ‘svara’ (tone/voice) in Sāman context: Soma is to be made fit/resplendent through proper voicing and consecration; Bṛhaspati regulates brahman; the verse includes a blessing for Kakṣīvant Auśija.", "ritual_interpretation": "A request that the Soma-offerings and their chants be correctly performed, avoiding faults; ensures efficacy of the pressing and offering through right speech.", "theological_insight": "Bṛhaspati is the guardian of mantra’s correctness; sonic purity is itself a sacramental act that makes Soma luminous.", "etymology_highlights": "brahmaṇaspati—‘lord of brahman/prayer’; svara—tone; svaraṇa—‘making bright/fit’, suggestively linked to voicing; auśija—descendant of Uśij." }
