Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 1
Pavamāna Soma’s ancient, heaven-derived flow—pressed, purified, and offered—bringing Indra’s epiphany and prosperity to the sacrificer
शग्ध्यू3 षु शचीपत इन्द्र विश्वाभिरूतिभिः भगं न हि त्वा यशसं वसुविदमनु शूर चरामसि

愿你垂怜，噢舍契之主因陀罗（Indra），以你一切护佑临护；因为我们不随从除你之外的任何者——你这荣耀的勇士、寻得财富者；为求福分，我们唯随你而行。

{ "prastava": null, "udgitha": null, "pratihara": null, "upadrava": null, "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "The opening ‘śagdhy ū ṣu’ often lends itself to a distinct prastāva cue; the long praise-chain naturally occupies udgītha/upadrava; the final ‘anu śūra carāmasi’ suits nidhana closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues the plea; Udgātṛ carries the praise-chain; Pratihartṛ returns response; all settle the final cadence together." }
{ "gloss_summary": "śagdhi is ‘grant favor’ enabling the desired fruit; bhagam is the allotted sacrificial prosperity (bhāga) expected from Indra; anu carāmasi is ritual ‘attendance’—continued resort and following of Indra alone; Indra is vasuvid (wealth-finder) and yaśasvin (glorious).", "ritual_interpretation": "The sacrificer, through the stotra, secures Indra’s protective participation and the rightful return (yajña-phala) as bhaga.", "theological_insight": "Exclusive resort (ananyatā) strengthens the sacrificial bond; protection (ūti) is Indra’s mode of grace in the rite.", "etymology_highlights": "bhaga as ‘portion/share’ (distributed allotment); ūti from √av ‘to help/protect’; śacī as ‘power/skill’, hence Śacīpati as lord of efficacious power." }
