{ "prastava": "hō/hā (brief)", "udgitha": "apādu śiprayandhasaḥ sudakṣasya prahoṣiṇaḥ", "pratihara": "indraḥ u", "upadrava": "indraḥ yavāśiraḥ", "nidhana": "raḥ/ā (cadential prolongation; school-specific)", "structure_notes": "The double Indra is naturally responsorial—excellent for pratihāra/upadrava split; the final item (yavāśiraḥ) often receives a small melodic highlight as the specific sacrament.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues; Udgātṛ declares drinking and qualifiers; Pratihartṛ confirms ‘indra u’; Udgātṛ completes with ‘indraḥ yavāśiraḥ’; all close nidhana to ‘seal’ acceptance." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Indra has drunk the offered Soma; śipra-yandhasa describes Indra’s firm-lipped nature; sudakṣa and prahoṣin qualify the competent offerer/rite; yavāśira is Soma mixed with barley, offered in a defined sequence.", "ritual_interpretation": "A declaration of acceptance of a particular Soma preparation; establishes the rite’s correctness and Indra’s satisfaction.", "theological_insight": "Divine empowerment follows proper offering; the deity’s ‘drinking’ is both literal (Soma) and functional (granting strength to act for the sacrificer).", "etymology_highlights": "yavāśira = yava (barley) + āśira (mixture); sudakṣa ‘good in skill/fitness’; prahoṣin ‘one who offers forth’." }
