Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 3
Aindra praise: Indra as unstoppable helper, victor, and giver of wealth/protection to the sacrificer
सुनोत सोमपाव्ने सोममिन्द्राय वज्रिणे पचता पक्तीरवसे कृणुध्वमित्पृणन्नित्पृणते मयः
sunota somapāvne somamindrāya vajriṇe pacatā paktīravase kṛṇudhvamitpṛṇannitpṛṇate mayaḥ
sunota soma-pāvne somaṃ indrāya vajriṇe | pacatā paktīr avase kṛṇudhvam it pṛṇan it pṛṇate mayaḥ ||
Hãy ép Soma cho bậc uống Soma—ép Soma dâng Indra (vajriṇ), Đấng mang chày sấm. Hãy nấu các phẩm vật cúng để cầu sự phù hộ của Ngài. Hãy làm các nghi lễ ấy: quả thật, khi làm (Ngài) thỏa mãn, niềm hoan hỷ được ban cho người làm thỏa mãn.

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude to gather ensemble and set tempo", "udgitha": "sunota soma-pāvne… (main injunction)", "pratihara": "Response reinforcing the action-words (sunota/pacatā)", "upadrava": "it pṛṇan it pṛṇate… (reciprocity teaching)", "nidhana": "Close on mayaḥ with collective sustained cadence", "structure_notes": "This verse naturally splits into ‘do the rite’ (first half) and ‘fruit/principle’ (second half), ideal for udgītha → upadrava transition.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ (prelude), Udgātṛ (main+after-song), Pratihartṛ (response), all (finale)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa takes the imperatives as explicit ritual injunctions: press soma for Indra, cook paktis; by satisfying the deity, the sacrificer gains mayaḥ (glad fruit).", "ritual_interpretation": "Directs core Soma procedures and frames them as means to secure Indra’s help (avase) and the yajamāna’s prosperity/joy.", "theological_insight": "Yajña is reciprocal: pṛṇan (filling the god through offering) results in pṛṇate (the offerer being filled) with joy and benefit.", "etymology_highlights": "vajrin—holder of vajra; pṛṇāti—fills/satisfies; mayaḥ—delight/pleasant fruit (prasāda)." }
