ঋচ্ ও সামন্ সহ আমরা যজন করি; এই দুইয়ের দ্বারাই কর্মকাণ্ড সম্পন্ন হয়। সদস্ (সভা)-এ দীপ্ত হয়ে তারা যজ্ঞকে দেবগণের নিকট বহন করায়।

{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude framing the declaration ‘ṛcaṃ sāma…’; pedagogically kept clear to foreground words.", "udgitha": "Main proclamation: ‘ṛcaṃ sāma yajāmahe…’.", "pratihara": "Response emphasizing ‘yābhyāṃ karmāṇi kṛṇvate’.", "upadrava": "Expansion: ‘vi te sadasi rājato…’.", "nidhana": "Final carrying phrase ‘… deveṣu vakṣataḥ’ with collective sustain.", "structure_notes": "This verse naturally maps onto the five-part structure because it speaks of the very mechanism being enacted (song carrying sacrifice).", "singer_assignments": "Standard distribution; nidhana by all to embody ‘carrying together’." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Ṛc and Sāman are paired liturgical instruments—recited and sung forms—by which karmāṇi (yajña-operations) are effected; in the sadas they shine and convey the sacrifice to the gods.", "ritual_interpretation": "Validates the division of priestly labor: śastra (Hotṛ) and stotra (Udgātṛ) together function as conveyors of offering.", "theological_insight": "Sound-forms are not mere symbols; when correctly performed they are causal powers within yajña, linking human act and divine reception.", "etymology_highlights": "sadas as ‘seat/assembly’—the formal hall of ritual; vakṣataḥ from √vah ‘to carry’ indicating transport/vehicle function of mantra." }
