แท้จริง ทั้งในกาลก่อนและในกาลนี้ ไม่เคยมีวีรบุรุษผู้ใดถือกำเนิดที่กล้าหาญยิ่งกว่าเจ้า; ไม่มีผู้ใดเหนือกว่าเจ้าในทรัพย์สมบัติ ไม่ว่าโดยประการใด และในศึกสงครามก็เช่นกัน.

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude setting heroic tone.", "udgitha": "Main proclamation up to ‘vīrataras tvat’.", "pratihara": "Brief response reinforcing the peak phrase.", "upadrava": "Series of negations ‘na kī rāyā…’ continuing the claim.", "nidhana": "Cadence on ‘bhandanā’ with collective firmness.", "structure_notes": "The anaphoric negations lend themselves to repeated melodic turns; nidhana should be weighty and unanimous.", "singer_assignments": "Standard three-singer distribution; collective nidhana emphasizes unanimity of praise." }

{ "gloss_summary": "A liturgical hyperbole: no one before or now is more heroic than Indra; none equals him in wealth or in battle.", "ritual_interpretation": "Praise (stuti) establishes Indra’s unsurpassable donor-power and martial supremacy; ‘rāyā’ points to his ability to bestow wealth upon the sacrificer; ‘bhandanā’ underscores victory in combat/contest.", "theological_insight": "Indra is enthroned as the decisive cosmic agent; by praising his unsurpassability, the rite aligns itself with the highest victorious power.", "etymology_highlights": "vīratara = comparative of vīra; bhandanā connected with contest/battle usage; aṅga as emphatic particle strengthening assertion." }
