Mantra 3
Aindra Soma-invitation and confirmation of Indra’s readiness to grant boons
उक्थं च न शस्यमानं नागो रयिरा चिकेत न गायत्रं गीयमानम्
ukthaṃ ca na śasyamānaṃ nāgo rayirā ciketa na gāyatraṃ gīyamānam
ukthaṃ2 ca2 naḥ1 śasyamānaṃ2 na1 āgo2 rayir2 ā1 ciketa2 na1 gāyatraṃ2 gīyamānam2
และอุกถะ (uktha) ของเรานั้น เมื่อสาธยายแล้วไร้ข้อบกพร่อง; ทรัพย์สมบัติ (rayi) ย่อมรู้และรับไว้; คาถาไกยาตรี (Gāyatra) ที่ขับร้องก็ไร้มลทินเช่นกัน.

{ "prastava": "Prelude establishing steadiness (often minimalistic for ‘protective’ verses).", "udgitha": "Main assertion about uktha being faultless.", "pratihara": "Response reinforcing na āgaḥ.", "upadrava": "Continuation: rayiḥ ā ciketa…", "nidhana": "Closing affirmation on gāyatraṃ gīyamānam with settled cadence.", "structure_notes": "The parallelism (uktha vs gāyatra) can be mirrored by parallel melodic phrases in udgītha and upadrava, then unified in nidhana.", "singer_assignments": "Standard udgātṛ triad; nidhana together." }
{ "gloss_summary": "āgaḥ is ritual defect/sin; the verse declares that properly performed uktha (recitation) and gāyatra (sung stotra) are without fault; rayi (wealth) takes note and accrues.", "ritual_interpretation": "Assurance that correct śasyā (recitation) and gāna (song) do not spoil the offering; secures auspicious result for the yajamāna.", "theological_insight": "Correct form is itself dharma: when sound is aligned with rule, it becomes purifying and fruit-bearing.", "etymology_highlights": "āgaḥ—doṣa/pāpa; ciketa—jānāti/pratijānāti; gāyatra—gāyatrī-chandas-stotra; gīyamānam—gānena uccāryamānam." }
