Mantra 3
Aindra praise: Indra’s sovereignty, ascent, and soma-empowered heroic force for the sacrificer’s welfare
य आनयत्परावतः सुनीती तुर्वशं यदुम् इन्द्रः स नो युवा सखा

Đấng nào, nhờ sự dẫn dắt cát tường, đã đưa Turvaśa và Yadu từ phương xa đến—nguyện chính Indra ấy là người bạn trẻ của chúng ta.

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa treats Turvaśa–Yadu as exemplars of those rescued and prospered by Indra. ‘Sunītī’ is Indra’s right-leading (samyag-netṛtva) through perilous passages; the precedent is invoked for the sacrificer’s welfare.", "ritual_interpretation": "By citing Indra’s past rescue, the chant becomes a ritual ‘argument’ for present protection and successful completion of the Soma rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is benevolent guidance, not only force; Indra is sought as ‘youthful friend’—renewing and intimate support.", "etymology_highlights": "sunītī = su (good) + nīti (leading); sakhā = companion/friend; parāvat = far region/distance." }
