{ "gloss_summary": "Indra is ‘universal donor’ (viśvatodāvan). ‘Bring here’ (ā bhara) is interpreted as bringing wealth, strength, and prosperity to the yajamāna from all directions; ‘we invoke’ expresses the sacrificer’s request.", "ritual_interpretation": "Aindra praise-song used to secure gifts and victory as fruits of the Soma rite; the chant is a formal invitation and request within the liturgy.", "theological_insight": "Divine generosity is responsive to stotra: Indra’s distributing power is activated through correct praise and invocation.", "etymology_highlights": "viśvataḥ (from all sides) + dāvan (giver); bhṛ (to bear/bring) in ā bhara; śaviṣṭha (superlative of śavas, strength)." }
