Aindra stotra: invoking Indra as the ever-victorious helper who is drawn to the hymn for protection and success
अग्निं तं मन्ये यो वसुरस्तं यं यन्ति धेनवः अस्तमर्वन्त आशवोस्तं नित्यासो वाजिन इषं स्तोतृभ्य आ भर
agniṃ taṃ manye yo vasurastaṃ yaṃ yanti dhenavaḥ astamarvanta āśavostaṃ nityāso vājina iṣaṃ stotṛbhya ā bhara
agníṃ táṃ manye yó vásur ástaṃ táṃ yáṃ yánti dhénavaḥ ástam árvanta āśávo táṃ nítyāso vā́jina íṣaṃ stotṛ́bhya ā́ bhara
ข้าพเจ้าถือว่า อัคนีนั้นคือวสุ (Vasu); โคทั้งหลายมุ่งสู่เรือนของพระองค์ และม้าเร็วทั้งหลายก็ไปสู่เรือนนั้นด้วย. โอผู้ประทานกำลังผู้สถิตเนืองนิตย์ จงนำอาหารและความหล่อเลี้ยงมาสู่ผู้สรรเสริญเถิด.

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa explains ‘asta’ as Agni’s seat/home in the sacrifice—contextually the ritual fire-place where offerings go as to a dwelling. ‘Dhenavaḥ’ can denote cows and also the milk/oblations that ‘flow’ to Agni. The verse petitions Agni to bring iṣ to the stotṛs.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is the locus receiving havis; all resources converge to the yajña through him, and the requested iṣ is the yajamāna’s and priests’ sustenance/benefit.", "theological_insight": "Agni’s ‘house’ is the bridge-point where material offering becomes divine gift; praise (stotra) is the activating condition for that exchange.", "etymology_highlights": "asta as ‘āste’ (seat/dwelling) in ritual sense; iṣ as nourishing refreshment/strength-giving food." }
