Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 5
Indra’s swift invitation to the Soma-rite through potent stotra and unhindered approach
त्वमङ्ग प्र शंसिषो देवः शविष्ठ मर्त्यम् न त्वदन्यो मघवन्नस्ति मर्डितेन्द्र ब्रवीमि ते वचः
tvamaṅga pra śaṃsiṣo devaḥ śaviṣṭha martyam na tvadanyo maghavannasti marḍitendra bravīmi te vacaḥ
tvam aṅga pra śaṃsi1ṣo devaḥ śavi1ṣṭha martyam | na tvad a1nyo maghavan a1sti marḍite1ndra bravīmi te va1caḥ ||
Quả thật, chính Ngài đáng được ca tụng—vị thần hùng mạnh nhất—vì lợi ích của kẻ phàm nhân. Hỡi Indra rộng ban, ngoài Ngài không ai là đấng ban niềm hoan lạc; con xin thốt lên với Ngài lời đã được định sẵn.

{ "prastava": "Short stobha prelude setting a steady tonal base for proclamation.", "udgitha": "Carries ‘tvam aṅga … śaviṣṭha …’ with emphasis on laudatory predicates.", "pratihara": "Highlights ‘na tvad anyo …’ as a responsive insistence.", "upadrava": "Moves into ‘indra bravīmi te …’ preparing closure.", "nidhana": "Cadential landing on ‘vacaḥ’ (often lengthened/ornamented in gāna).", "structure_notes": "Semantic climax is the exclusivity statement and the offering of ‘vacas’; these typically receive melodic prominence.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ / Udgātṛ / Pratihartṛ / Udgātṛ / all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘vacaḥ’ is the ritually efficacious stotra-formula; ‘marḍitā’ is the one who makes the sacrificer prosper (śam karoti) by granting cattle, food, victory—hence Indra is unique.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms Indra as the singular effective recipient for this stotra; the uttered formula is ‘niyata’ (appointed) and therefore potent.", "theological_insight": "The deity’s beneficence is accessed through regulated praise; ritual speech is not ordinary language but consecrated action.", "etymology_highlights": "marḍitā connected with ‘marḍ/ mṛḍ’ (to gladden, make prosper); vacas as technical stotra-utterance." }
