Mantra 8
Aindra Soma-invitation and confirmation of Indra’s readiness to grant boons
वयं घा ते अपि स्मसि स्तोतार इन्द्र गिर्वणः त्वं नो जिन्व सोमपाः
vayaṃ ghā te api smasi stotāra indra girvaṇaḥ tvaṃ no jinva somapāḥ
vayáṃ ghā́ te ápi smasi stotā́ra índra girváṇaḥ | tváṃ no jínva sómapāḥ ||
แท้จริงเราทั้งหลายก็เป็นของท่าน โอ้อินทระ ผู้ยินดีในบทสรรเสริญ เป็นผู้สโตตระของท่าน; โสมปาḥ ผู้ดื่มโสมะเอ๋ย ขอจงปลุกเร้าและหล่อเลี้ยงเราเถิด.

Aindra (standard Grāmegeyagāna setting; specific nāman not supplied in input)
{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude)", "udgitha": "vayaṃ ghā te api smasi stotāra indra girvaṇaḥ", "pratihara": "tvaṃ no jinva", "upadrava": "somapāḥ", "nidhana": "(prolonged closing on pāḥ with nidhana vowels)", "structure_notes": "The imperative jinva works well as a compact pratihāra; somapāḥ as upadrava/nidhana seals the Soma identity of Indra.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "The priests assert dependence and belonging (‘we are thine’) to strengthen the claim for protection/prosperity; jinva means increase our means/strength as yajña-phala; girvaṇaḥ underscores Indra’s delight in ritual praise; somapāḥ identifies him as Soma-drinker.", "ritual_interpretation": "A legitimizing claim-verse: after praising, the singers state their relation and request the boon of invigoration.", "theological_insight": "Grace flows through relationship (sakhya/belonging) established by praise; the deity’s Soma-nature is the channel of increase.", "etymology_highlights": "jinva from √jīv/√ji (to enliven/increase); girvaṇa connected with gīr (hymn) + vana (delighting)." }
