Aindra stotra as a plea to Indra to hear the Soma-pressing call and unite with perfected praise, framed by cosmic messenger imagery (suparṇa/drapsa) that upholds ṛta.
श्रुधी हवं विपिपानस्याद्रेर्बोधा विप्रस्यार्चतो मनीषाम् कृष्वा दुवांस्यन्तमा सचेमा
śrudhī havaṃ vipipānasyādrerbodhā viprasyārcato manīṣām kṛṣvā duvāṃsyantamā sacemā
śrudhī havaṃ vipipānasya adrer | bodhā viprasya arcato manīṣām | kṛṣvā duvāṃsy antamā sacemā(2)
Xin hãy lắng nghe lời khẩn cầu của kẻ khát được uống—vang lên từ hòn đá ép (adri); xin thấu hiểu ý niệm của vị vipra đang ca tụng. Khi đã làm cho lời tôn kính của chúng con trở nên tối thượng, xin cho chúng con được hiệp nhất cùng Ngài.

{ "prastava": "(stobha-led prelude; often ‘hā/ho/i’ expansions in Aindra practice)", "udgitha": "śrudhī havaṃ vipipānasya adrer bodhā viprasyārcato manīṣām", "pratihara": "kṛṣvā duvāṃsy", "upadrava": "antamā sacemā", "nidhana": "(elongated cadence on sacemā with communal closure)", "structure_notes": "Text is typically segmented so the ‘hearing/awakening’ verbs sit in udgītha; the ‘making excellent’ and ‘union’ resolve in later sections with elongations.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana (with support from assistants)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa links adri to the Soma-pressing apparatus (grāvan); the ‘call’ is concretely tied to pressing. manīṣā is the priest’s well-formed stotra-intent. duvāṃsi are acts/words of worship made excellent.", "ritual_interpretation": "Pressing sound and stotra together constitute the invitation; correctness and excellence of worship secure Indra’s approach and participation.", "theological_insight": "Divine hearing is ritually conditioned: the deity responds to properly formed intention expressed in sanctioned sound.", "etymology_highlights": "adri → grāvan (pressing-stone); manīṣā as ‘manas + īṣā’ (formed/impelled thought, traditional glossing); duvāṃsi as worship-acts/utterances." }
