Aindra victory-invocation: Indra summoned as the fierce, far-ranging protector who smites foes and grants Soma-born prosperity
मृगो न भीमः कुचरो गिरिष्ठाः परावत आ जगन्था परस्याः सृकं संशाय पविमिन्द्र तिग्मं वि शत्रूं ताढि वि मृधो नुदस्व
mṛgo na bhīmaḥ kucaro giriṣṭhāḥ parāvata ā jaganthā parasyāḥ sṛkaṃ saṃśāya pavimindra tigmaṃ vi śatrūṃ tāḍhi vi mṛdho nudasva
mṛgo na bhīmaḥ1 kucaro giriṣṭhāḥ2 parāvata ā jaganthā3 parasyāḥ sṛkaṃ saṃśāya1 pavimindra tigmaṃ2 vi śatrūṃ tāḍhi3 vi mṛdho nudasva
ดุจสัตว์ป่าผู้เกรี้ยวกราด น่าเกรงขาม ผู้ย่องเยื้องเร้นลับ ผู้สถิตบนภูผา ท่านได้มาจากแดนอันไกลยิ่ง. โอ้ อินทรา เมื่อท่านสอดอาวุธคมกล้าเข้ากับขากรรไกรแล้ว จงฟาดฟันศัตรูให้แตกกระจาย และขับไล่ผู้รุกรานให้ถอยไป.

{ "gloss_summary": "Indra is described with fierce imagery (like a terrible beast), dwelling in mountains and arriving from afar to aid. ‘Pavi’ is the sharp edge/weapon-power (vajra’s cutting capability). The commands ‘tāḍhi’ (smite) and ‘nudasva’ (drive away) request decisive removal of enemies and assailants.", "ritual_interpretation": "Indra is summoned to protect the sacrifice, arriving to empower the rite and disperse obstructors who threaten the offering.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is invited as timely intervention; Indra’s ferocity is dharmic when directed to protect ṛta and yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "pavi = śastra-dhārā (cutting edge); tigma = tīkṣṇa (keen); nudasva = apakṣepaṇa (driving out)." }
