{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude, often soft to set sweetness)", "udgitha": "girvaṇaḥ pāhi naḥ sutaṃ madhordhārābhirajyase", "pratihara": "indra", "upadrava": "tvādātamidyaśaḥ", "nidhana": "(yaśaḥ prolonged as luminous closure)", "structure_notes": "Placing ‘indra’ as a compact pratihāra functions as a clear deity-call between the sweet-flow description and the grace-affirmation.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa highlights Indra as ‘girvaṇas’—one who delights in and accepts stotra; Soma is ‘suta’ (pressed) and offered in dhārās (streams). ‘Yaśas’—renown/success—is truly Indra’s gift.", "ritual_interpretation": "A Soma-offering invitation coupled with consecratory imagery (anointing by streams) and a closing attribution of ritual success to divine bestowal.", "theological_insight": "The efficacy of yajña is grace-mediated: human offering and praise invite the deity, but the fruit (yaśas) is granted by the deity.", "etymology_highlights": "girvaṇas: ‘delighting in hymns’ (gir); dhārā: ‘stream/flow’; ajyase: ‘are anointed’ from √añj; yaśas: fame/glory as ritual success." }
