Mantra 3
Aindra praise framed through allied fire-aid: hymns approach the gods like a swift offering, seeking strength, cattle-wealth, and victorious bounty
आग्ने स्थूरं रयिं भर पृथुं गोमन्तमश्विनम् अङ्धि खं वर्त्तया पविम्
āgne sthūraṃ rayiṃ bhara pṛthuṃ gomantamaśvinam aṅdhi khaṃ varttayā pavim

โอ อัคนี (Agni) จงนำทรัพย์อันมั่นคง (rayi) มาเถิด—กว้างใหญ่บริบูรณ์ มีโคมาก มีม้ามาก; จงจุดเร้าพลัง และให้คมศัสตรา (pavi) เคลื่อนไปในห้วงเวหาอันกว้างไกล.

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude)", "udgitha": "āgne sthūraṃ rayiṃ bhara pṛthuṃ gomantam aśvinam", "pratihara": "aṅdhi khaṃ", "upadrava": "varttayā pavim", "nidhana": "(final sustained close on pavim with communal unison)", "structure_notes": "Imperatives segment naturally: ‘bhara’ anchors udgītha; ‘aṅdhi/varttayā’ serve as response and after-song with sharper articulation.", "singer_assignments": "As standard: prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ/udgātṛ/all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "sthūra/pṛthu/gomantam/aśvinam: graded epithets describing rayi as substantial, ample, rich in cattle and horses. pavim: vajra-dhārāvat tīkṣṇam—keen smiting power like a thunderbolt’s edge. varttayā: pravartaya—set in motion, make operative.", "ritual_interpretation": "Requests both material prosperity (paśu, aśva) and the operative power that ensures the rite proceeds unobstructed, ‘cutting through’ impediments.", "theological_insight": "Agni is benefactor and purifier: he grants increase and also the incisive force that protects the increase from loss/obstruction.", "etymology_highlights": "pavi from root sense of ‘sharp edge/point’; vart- ‘to turn/roll’ → pravartana ‘activation, setting into operation’." }
