{ "prastava": "hō/hā (strong entry)", "udgitha": "pra samrājaṃ carṣaṇīnām indraṃ stotā navyam gīrbhiḥ", "pratihara": "naram", "upadrava": "nṛṣāhaṃ maṃhiṣṭham", "nidhana": "ham/ā (cadential prolongation; school-specific)", "structure_notes": "Isolating naram as a response highlights heroic identity; the final epithets form an intensifying upadrava leading to a weighty nidhana.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ sets the royal gait; Udgātṛ carries main praise; Pratihartṛ punctuates ‘naram’; Udgātṛ completes victory/generosity epithets; all join in nidhana to enthrone Indra in sound." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Navya’ is renewed praise appropriate to each Soma session; gīr is voiced stotra. Epithets (samrāj, nṛṣāha, maṃhiṣṭha) justify expectation of victory and gifts.", "ritual_interpretation": "A stotra to enthrone Indra as ruler of the rite and to secure success and dakṣiṇā-like rewards for the sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "The deity is approached through ever-renewed speech; repetition without renewal loses efficacy—navya is a ritual principle of living contact.", "etymology_highlights": "samrāj ‘complete ruler’; nṛṣāha ‘overcoming men/foes’; maṃhiṣṭha superlative of maṃh ‘to grant, be bountiful’." }
