Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 5
Aindra praise invoking Indra’s sovereign power to hear the stotra and grant victory, abundance, and unhindered ritual progress
सोमानां स्वरणं कृणुहि ब्रह्मणस्पते कक्षीवन्तं य औशिजः
somānāṃ svaraṇaṃ kṛṇuhi brahmaṇaspate kakṣīvantaṃ ya auśijaḥ
somānāṁ svaraṇaṁ kṛṇuhi brahmaṇaspate kakṣīvantaṁ ya auśijaḥ
Hỡi Brahmaṇaspati, Chúa tể lời nguyện, xin làm cho các lễ hiến Soma rực sáng và vang đúng thanh điệu; xin cho Kakṣīvant (Auśija), con của Uśij, được hưng thịnh.

{ "gloss_summary": "Svaraṇa is connected with ‘svara’ (tone/voice) in Sāman context: Soma is to be made fit/resplendent through proper voicing and consecration; Bṛhaspati regulates brahman; the verse includes a blessing for Kakṣīvant Auśija.", "ritual_interpretation": "A request that the Soma-offerings and their chants be correctly performed, avoiding faults; ensures efficacy of the pressing and offering through right speech.", "theological_insight": "Bṛhaspati is the guardian of mantra’s correctness; sonic purity is itself a sacramental act that makes Soma luminous.", "etymology_highlights": "brahmaṇaspati—‘lord of brahman/prayer’; svara—tone; svaraṇa—‘making bright/fit’, suggestively linked to voicing; auśija—descendant of Uśij." }
