Tại Trikadruka, Indra hùng mạnh, sức lực bao la, được thỏa mãn; Ngài uống Soma (Soma) hòa với lúa mạch, do Viṣṇu (Viṣṇu) ép ra; quả thật Ngài hân hoan để hoàn thành đại nghiệp; vị thần chân thật tiến đến vị thần ấy (đấng được thỉnh mời) để ban ân huệ lớn lao.

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude preparing the long narrative (often extended to set tempo and pitch-field).", "udgitha": "Primary narrative segments up to the exultation (… somam apibat … mamāda).", "pratihara": "Responsive confirmation, often reiterating the empowerment motif with abbreviated text.", "upadrava": "Completion toward ‘mahi karma kartave …’ guiding to closure.", "nidhana": "Cadential settlement, potentially on satyá with prolonged final vowel.", "structure_notes": "Long text is typically distributed: key verbs become musical anchors; compounds may be split in uha to fit melodic phrases.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ carries the main narrative; Pratihartṛ answers; finale together." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Trikadruka is a pressing-place; yavāśira is Soma qualified by barley-mixture; ‘viṣṇunā suta’ indicates pressing through Viṣṇu’s agency/association; mamāda is exultation after drinking.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse validates the ritual technology: properly prepared Soma satisfies Indra and empowers him to grant boons and victory to the sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "Divine action is triggered by correct rite: joy (mada) is not mere intoxication but a sacralized intensification of power directed to ‘mahi karma’.", "etymology_highlights": "mamāda ← √mad (to rejoice/be exhilarated); tṛmpat ← √tṛp (to be satisfied); sutam ← √su (to press/extract)." }
