Aindra Soma-stuti: praising Indra at the Soma-pressing for strength, protection, and prosperity

yathā gauro apā kṛtaṃ tṛṣyannetyaveriṇam āpitve naḥ prapitve tūyamā gahi kaṇveṣu su sacā piba

如黄褐之雄牛，口渴而趋向已备之水、无敌意之水；如是你在我们亲近与更亲近的相契中，速速来临。于迦ṇ伐（Kaṇva）诸人之间，以和悦的相伴，饮此Soma。

The verse invites Indra quickly into close fellowship to drink.", "ritual_interpretation": "Hospitality-invitation at the Soma offering: ensuring the drink is prepared, non-hostile, and pleasing, and that Indra comes swiftly to partake.", "theological_insight": "Divine approach is fostered by preparedness and amicability; nearness (āpitva) is ritually cultivated and deepened (prapitva).", "etymology_highlights": "āpitva/prapitva from āp (to reach, attain) conveying nearness/attainment; averiṇam = a- + veri (enmity) ‘without hostility’." }
