Aindra (generic) — melody unspecified in input
{ "prastava": "(typical) o/ho-i prelude with stobha expansion before the first lexical segment", "udgitha": "Main text-bearing stretch over ‘gavyo… varivasyā…’ emphasizing boon-words", "pratihara": "Short answering phrase/cadence confirming the petition", "upadrava": "Re-entry and continuation, often repeating/reshaping the boon-clause", "nidhana": "Final settling cadence on the last boon-term (mahonām) with collective closure", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna, exact segmentation cannot be fixed; Aindra sāmans commonly elongate the opening and place the strongest melismatic weight on varivasyā/mahonām.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ (prastāva) → Udgātṛ (udgītha, upadrava) → Pratihartṛ (pratihāra) → all (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Prayer for gavya/aśvaya/rathayā wealth; varivasyā = varivas-karaṇa, making ‘wide space’—unobstructed attainment; mahonām = great boons of the mighty (Indra).", "ritual_interpretation": "Wealth terms align with dakṣiṇā and patron’s prosperity; ‘wide space’ also means smooth, obstruction-free performance and fruition of the rite.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s greatness is experienced as removal of constriction—he grants both material supports and the conditions for their rightful enjoyment.", "etymology_highlights": "varivas (wide space) → varivasyā (causing/obtaining wide space); mahonām from mahān/mahas (greatness, might)." }
