Pavamāna Soma offered in due order to summon Indra, the supreme Soma-drinker
यदी सुतेभिरिन्दुभिः सोमेभिः प्रतिभूषथ वेदा विश्वस्य मेधिरो धृषत्तन्तमिदेषते

หากท่านทั้งหลายจัดตั้งบูชาด้วยหยดอันสว่างไสวที่คั้นแล้ว พร้อมด้วยการหลั่งโสมะ (Soma) ตามพิธีอันควร; เมื่อนั้นบัณฑิตผู้รู้ทั่วทั้งพิธีกรรมย่อมวิงวอนอย่างมั่นใจไม่หวั่นไหว ให้พระอินทระเสด็จมารับเครื่องบูชานั้น.

Pavamāna-sāman (generic)
{ "prastava": "(stobha-led prelude, often ‘hā/u/ho’ expansions) preparing the entry of the ṛc.", "udgitha": "Main text-bearing melody on the core words (notably indubhiḥ/somebhiḥ … medhiraḥ … iṣate).", "pratihara": "Responsive turn reinforcing the ‘properly set forth’ and ‘petition’ cadence.", "upadrava": "After-song repetition/variation emphasizing the devatā-focus (Indra) and the act of iṣi (seeking).", "nidhana": "Closing cadence sealing the offering-intent; often lengthened final syllables.", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma practice typically distributes stobhas to frame semantic peaks: preparation (pratibhūṣatha) and invocation (iṣate/Indra implied).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘pratibhūṣatha’ = saṃskāra/ordered preparation and presentation of pressed Soma; ‘vedā viśvasya medhiraḥ’ = the officiant who knows the entire sacrificial procedure; such a knower confidently seeks Indra for the oblation.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra is keyed to the procedural correctness of Soma’s preparation and offering; efficacy depends on proper saṃskāra and knowledgeable officiation.", "theological_insight": "Knowledge (veda/medhā) and right action (saṃskāra) jointly ‘summon’ divine response; Indra is approached through the properly shaped Soma.", "etymology_highlights": "prati-bhūṣ (to adorn/prepare fittingly); medhira (possessed of medhā—ritual intelligence); indu (bright drop)." }
