Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 6
Aindra stuti at Soma-pressing: praising Indra’s might and inviting him to drink the expressed Soma for protection and welfare
त्वमिन्द्र बलादधि सहसो जात ओजसः त्वं सन्वृषन्वृषेदसि
tvamindra balādadhi sahaso jāta ojasaḥ tvaṃ sanvṛṣanvṛṣedasi
tvám índra balā́d ádhi | sáhaso jātá ójasaḥ | tváṃ sán vṛ́ṣan vṛ́ṣed ási ||
因陀罗啊，唯汝在力量中最为卓越；由威力而生，由雄劲而具光辉。汝恒为公牛，实为至强。
tvam indra balāt adhi | sahasaḥ jātaḥ ojasaḥ | tvam san vṛṣan vṛṣed asi ||

{ "prastava": "(Optional stobha prelude; not supplied)", "udgitha": "tvám índra balā́d ádhi", "pratihara": "sáhaso jātá ójasaḥ", "upadrava": "tváṃ sán vṛ́ṣan vṛ́ṣed ási", "nidhana": "(Slow, settled close; may prolong ‘ási’ in gāna)", "structure_notes": "Parallelism supports clean antiphony; the final pada can carry extended nidhana to ‘seal’ steadiness.", "singer_assignments": "Udgātṛ establishes the thesis (pre-eminent strength), Pratihartṛ confirms origin (born of might/vigor), Udgātṛ returns for culminating identity (ever-bull, most potent), ensemble closure." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa treats the ablatives (balāt, sahasaḥ, ojasaḥ) as indicating Indra’s essential nature as strength and vigor, not contingent; vṛṣan/vṛṣed are epithets of virility and rain-bestowing potency.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra establishes Indra’s readiness and inherent capacity, supporting the ritual’s confidence that offerings will be met by effective divine power.", "theological_insight": "Indra is identified with strength itself—his being is power; the rite invokes what is eternally present (‘san’).", "etymology_highlights": "Ablative triad emphasizes origin/essence; ‘vṛṣan’ connected with raining/virility; ‘adhi’ as surpassing/supreme." }
