‘For riches’ (rāye) means ‘for wealth’; ‘for strength’ (vājāya) means ‘for food.’ ‘Wielder of the thunderbolt’ (vajrivaḥ) means he who causes the thunderbolt-bearer Indra to function; or it means he who moves as the controller. ‘O strongest one’ (śaviṣṭha) means ‘O most powerful one,’ or ‘O most blissful one.’ ‘You direct’ (ṛñjase) means ‘you impel everyone.’ The repetition, ‘O most bountiful one, O wielder of the thunderbolt, you direct,’ is for the purpose of emphasis. ‘Rejoice’ (matsva) means ‘experience delight.’ (3)
