Mantra 3
Āditya-protection through ṛta (cosmic order) and the safeguarding of the sacrificer
इमास्त इन्द्र पृश्नयो घृतं दुहत आशिरम् एनामृतस्य पिप्युषीः
imāsta indra pṛśnayo ghṛtaṃ duhata āśiram enāmṛtasya pipyuṣīḥ
imā́ḥ2 te1 índra3 pṛ́śnayaḥ2 ghṛtáṃ3 duhata2 āśíraṃ1 enā́2 amṛ́tasya3 pipyuṣī́ḥ2
因陀罗啊，这些斑驳之母牛为你挤出酥油；她们献出āśir（祭饮之调和乳），充盈着Soma之甘露。

{ "gloss_summary": "‘Cows’ are interpreted as ritual streams/vessels producing ghṛta and āśir; āśir is Soma mixed with milk/curd; amṛta denotes Soma’s immortalizing nature; pipyuṣīḥ = abounding/full.", "ritual_interpretation": "Describes the practical liturgy: pressed Soma is ‘milked’ into cups and mixed; the song consecrates the mixture as fit for Indra.", "theological_insight": "Immortality is approached through refined offering—essence distilled by rite and mantra becomes amṛta-like in effect.", "etymology_highlights": "āśir as ‘mixture/blessing’; pipyuṣ from √pyā (to swell, be full)." }
