Aindra Sāman (Soma-āhvāna type; exact tune-name not specified in input)

{ "prastava": "(Aindra prelude with stobha; sets the ‘pressed Soma’ announcement)", "udgitha": "asāvi soma indra te śaviṣṭha dhṛṣṇavān gahi", "pratihara": "(Response marking the arrival-invitation cadence)", "upadrava": "ā tvā pṛṇaktīndriyaṃ rajaḥ", "nidhana": "sūryo na raśmibhiḥ", "structure_notes": "Nidhana as a simile is often sung with a luminous, lengthened cadence; in gāna, ‘sūryo’ may receive elongation to paint the image sonically.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ leads prastāva; Udgātṛ carries main imperative; Pratihartṛ answers; Udgātṛ completes upadrava; all seal the solar nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "asāvi = sutaḥ (pressed at the proper savana); pṛṇakti = prīṇayati/vardhayati (gladdens and augments); indriyam = indrasya śakti-viśeṣaḥ; rajaḥ = antarikṣa-loka.", "ritual_interpretation": "A savana-linked invitation: Soma is prepared and the chant summons Indra to drink, thereby increasing his might for boon-giving.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is not static; it is ritually intensified—Soma and song are the means by which Indra’s indriya becomes world-filling like sunlight.", "etymology_highlights": "Emphasis on pṛṇakti as ‘augmenting’ (vardhana) and rajaḥ as the mid-region rather than mere ‘dust’." }
