{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude setting ‘pra…’ forward motion.", "udgitha": "Main proclamation through ‘pra devam… asiṣyadanta’.", "pratihara": "Response emphasizing the officiants: ‘barhiṣado vacanāvantaḥ’.", "upadrava": "After-song elaborating purification: ‘ūdhabhiḥ parisrutam… nirṇijam dhire’.", "nidhana": "Collective cadence sealing ‘dhire’ (they have set/placed).", "structure_notes": "Natural rhetorical hinge at ‘barhiṣadaḥ’: from Soma’s movement to priestly agency; sāman setting often marks this with a clear melodic turn.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha/upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), all (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma drops, sweet, proceed toward the deity; ‘gāvaḥ… dhenavaḥ’ is a simile for the sound/flow; ‘barhiṣadaḥ vacanāvantaḥ’ are the officiants seated on barhis, endowed with sacred speech; ‘ūdhabhiḥ’ is taken metaphorically as the means/sources by which Soma is made to flow; ‘parisrutam’ is the flowing Soma; ‘usrīyāḥ’ are ruddy streams; ‘nirṇijam’ is cleansing/purification.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms that priestly stotra and correct seating/arrangement participate in Soma’s purification alongside physical filtration.", "theological_insight": "Brahman (right speech) is an operative force in purification; ritual correctness transforms the offering’s quality.", "etymology_highlights": "nirṇij—cleansing/removing stain; barhiṣad—one seated on sacrificial grass; madhu—sweetness as auspicious essence." }
