Mantra 5
Aindra āhvāna: inviting Indra to the Soma with praise of his swift approach and heroic power
यदी वहन्त्याशवो भ्राजमाना रथेष्वा पिबन्तो मदिरं मधु तत्र श्रवांसि कृण्वते
yadī vahantyāśavo bhrājamānā ratheṣvā pibanto madiraṃ madhu tatra śravāṃsi kṛṇvate

เมื่อม้าผู้ว่องไวและส่องประกายพาเหล่าเทพไปบนรถศึก และเมื่อเหล่าเทพดื่มโสมะ (Soma) อันหวานและเร้าใจ—ณ ที่นั้นเอง เขาทั้งหลายก่อให้เกิดเกียรติยศ แด่พิธีและผู้ถวาย.

{ "gloss_summary": "‘pibantaḥ madiram madhu’ is Soma—sweet and gladdening; ‘śravāṃsi’ are praises/renown produced when the gods partake and the rite succeeds.", "ritual_interpretation": "Soma-pāna at the yajña is the decisive act; divine participation yields fame and efficacy for the sacrificer and the hymn.", "theological_insight": "Sound (stuti/śravas) is both offering and result: when gods accept Soma, they ‘create’ auspicious hearing—praise that spreads and stabilizes dharma.", "etymology_highlights": "madira (mādaka, ‘intoxicating’), madhu (‘sweet’); śravas from √śru (‘to hear’)—that which is heard as fame/praise." }
