Mantra 4
Aindra stuti: Indra as the collectively ‘fashioned’ and manifest power who conquers battles and grants sovereignty through soma-inspired praise
इमे त इन्द्र ते वयं पुरुष्टुत ये त्वारभ्य चरामसि प्रभूवसो न हि त्वदन्यो गिर्वणो गिरः सघत्क्षोणीरिव प्रति तद्धर्य नो वचः
ime ta indra te vayaṃ puruṣṭuta ye tvārabhya carāmasi prabhūvaso na hi tvadanyo girvaṇo giraḥ saghatkṣoṇīriva prati taddharya no vacaḥ

These are thine, Indra; we, O much-praised, relying upon thee, proceed (in our acts), O abounding in wealth: for none other than thou, accepter of praise, receiveth hymns; therefore accept our utterance in return, as the earth (receiveth the seed).

Aindra (generic/unspecified in input)
{ "prastava": "(invocatory stobha prelude)", "udgitha": "ime ta indra te vayaṃ puruṣṭuta ...", "pratihara": "(answer emphasizing ‘na hi tvad anyo’)", "upadrava": "... girvaṇo giraḥ saghat kṣoṇīriva prati ...", "nidhana": "taddharya no vacaḥ (cadential close, often lengthened)", "structure_notes": "Key rhetorical hinge ‘na hi tvad anyo’ is a natural spot for melodic repetition in gāna.", "singer_assignments": "Standard three-priest distribution with chorus nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "ārabhya is taking refuge in Indra for ritual efficacy; girvaṇas is Indra as the proper recipient who delights in stotra; acceptance-request is necessary for hymn efficacy.", "ritual_interpretation": "The stotra explicitly seeks pratigraha (acceptance), making the sung praise a functional limb of sacrifice rather than mere laudation.", "theological_insight": "Divine exclusivity as recipient: praise must be rightly addressed; correct addressee and acceptance complete the circuit of offering and return.", "etymology_highlights": "girvaṇas: ‘one who delights in giraḥ (hymns)’; ārabhya: ‘having taken hold of’ → reliance/refuge." }
