อินทรา (Indra) ได้บังเกิด—ผู้ทำลายป้อมนคร; เยาว์วัยแต่เป็นกวีผู้รู้แจ้ง มีกำลังอันประมาณมิได้; ผู้ค้ำจุนกิจการทั้งปวง ผู้ถือวัชระ (vajrī) ผู้ได้รับการสรรเสริญจากหมู่ชนอย่างยิ่ง (puruṣṭuta).

{ "gloss_summary": "‘viśvasya karmaṇaḥ dhartā’ includes support of yajña-karman; ‘purāṃ bhinduḥ’ removes impediments—outer foes and inner/ritual obstacles; Indra is vajrī and widely praised.", "ritual_interpretation": "Proclaims Indra’s qualifying powers for the Soma rite—he sustains the sacrificial action and breaks what obstructs it.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s cosmic victories are mirrored in ritual efficacy: the yajña becomes the field where obstacle-breaking and work-support are experienced.", "etymology_highlights": "bhinduḥ from √bhid (to split); dhartā from √dhṛ (to hold/support); vajrī ‘possessor of vajra’; puruṣṭuta ‘praised by many’." }
