โอ้อินทระ จงมาจากแดนไกลแล้วเข้ามาใกล้เราเถิด ดุจเจ้านายผู้ประเสริฐมาสู่พิธีบูชา ดุจราชากลับสู่ที่ประทับ เราผู้มีเครื่องบูชาพร้อม เรียกหาท่านในคราวคั้นโสมะ (Soma) ดุจบุตรเรียกบิดา โอ้ผู้เอื้อเฟื้อยิ่ง เพื่อให้ได้ชัยชนะและทรัพย์เชลย (vāja).

{ "prastava": "Stobha-call establishing ‘invitation’ tone (often brighter and slightly brisk).", "udgitha": "endra yāhy upa naḥ parāvato … havāmahe tvā …", "pratihara": "Echo/response emphasizing approach (upa naḥ) and patronage (satpati).", "upadrava": "Filial and goal clause: putrāso na pitaraṃ … vājasātaye …", "nidhana": "Cadence on maṃhiṣṭham with collective stabilization.", "structure_notes": "Musically, treat the two similes (satpatiḥ; rājā iva) as parallel motifs; keep the ‘sons to father’ as the emotional pivot.", "singer_assignments": "Standard trio; pratihāra can strongly mirror the ‘come’ imperative for ritual efficacy." }
{ "gloss_summary": "vidatha is yajña/assembly; satpati is patron-lord of the righteous sacrificers; the sons-to-father simile indicates proper dependence; vājasātaye is for winning victory/spoils; maṃhiṣṭha is superlative generosity.", "ritual_interpretation": "An invitation at Soma pressings: the prepared oblations and correct posture draw Indra near to bestow vāja.", "theological_insight": "Divine kingship is also paternal care; sovereignty responds to sincerity and right offering.", "etymology_highlights": "satpati: sat + pati (lord of the good/true); vājasāti: vāja (strength/prize) + sāti (winning)." }
