Nguyện Indra ban cho chúng con sự nuôi dưỡng (iṣa); nguyện Ngài ban của cải—với tư cách ṛbhu khéo léo và nhân hậu; Đấng ban vāja, xin ban phần thưởng cường tráng.

{ "prastava": "Intro stobha leading into ‘indra…’ (not supplied).", "udgitha": "First petition: ‘indra iṣe dadātu naḥ’.", "pratihara": "Response emphasizing ‘ṛbhukṣaṇam ṛbhuṃ rayim’.", "upadrava": "Second petition: ‘vājī dadātu vājinam’.", "nidhana": "Cadence on ‘vājinam’ (often lengthened to ‘seal’ the boon).", "structure_notes": "Natural bipartite petition suits udgītha + upadrava symmetry; ‘dadātu’ can be melodically highlighted as the granting act.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: prastotṛ cues; udgātṛ carries both petition arcs; pratihartṛ answers mid-verse; all join in nidhana for ‘boon-sealing’ effect." }
{ "gloss_summary": "iṣ is food/refreshment obtained through sacrifice; rayi is desired prosperity; ṛbhu-epithets indicate skill in granting boons; vājī is giver of vāja; prayer asks for vigorous prize.", "ritual_interpretation": "Frames the yajña’s intended fruits: nourishment and wealth for the yajamāna; Indra is invoked as the competent bestower.", "theological_insight": "Divine giving is not arbitrary; it is ritually ‘earned’ and properly requested through stotra aligned with offering.", "etymology_highlights": "iṣ as sacrificial ‘refreshment’; vāja from √vaj ‘to be strong/drive’ → vigor/prize; ṛbhu related to skillful workmanship (reinterpreted as boon-bestowing skill)." }
