{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa takes the epithets as qualifiers of ‘rayi’: wealth that causes attainment (sānasi), ensures victory (sajitvānam), and overcomes impediments (sadāsaha). It is requested as ‘ūti’—aid/support for the sacrificer.", "ritual_interpretation": "A boon-request aligned to ritual success: prosperity that actively supports completion and protection of the Soma rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine wealth is functional and excellent—meant to empower right action, not mere accumulation.", "etymology_highlights": "sānasi from √san (to gain/obtain); ūti = help/protection; sadā-saha = always-overcoming." }
