Mantra 6

Aindra Sāman (invitation-type; specific tune not stated in input)

{ "prastava": "(stobha-led prelude; commonly short for invitatories)", "udgitha": "úpa no háribhiḥ sutáṃ yā́hi madā́nāṃ pate", "pratihara": "úpa no háribhiḥ sutám", "upadrava": "(often repeats the invitatory line; matches the given repetition)", "nidhana": "(final sustained close; sometimes on a key word like ‘sutam’)", "structure_notes": "The text itself provides refrain material; ideal for Samavedic expansion where repetition is structurally meaningful, not redundant.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues; Udgātṛ sings the main line; Pratihartṛ delivers the refrain; Udgātṛ reiterates in upadrava; all close in nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "suta = pressed Soma at the savana; ‘madānām pati’ = Indra as chief enjoyer/master of exhilarations; repetition is emphatic and suits chant-structure.", "ritual_interpretation": "Direct invitation to Indra to approach the Soma offering; repetition supports liturgical timing and insistence.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s proximity is secured through praise and Soma; the lordship over ‘madāḥ’ implies controlled, beneficent ecstasy.", "etymology_highlights": "hari ‘tawny’ (also ‘swift’ connotation); mada ‘exhilaration/rapture’; pati ‘lord’." }
