{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; can mirror the preceding verse for pairing)", "udgitha": "tvaṃ jāmirjanānāmagne mitro asi priyaḥ", "pratihara": "(response emphasizing mitraḥ/agne)", "upadrava": "sakhā sakhibhya īḍyaḥ", "nidhana": "(collective closure on īḍyaḥ)", "structure_notes": "Treat this as the ‘resolution’ of the pair: allow a fuller cadence and slightly longer nidhana.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part roles; pratihartṛ response can warmly echo mitraḥ/priyaḥ." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is intimate with the yajamāna as household/altar fire (jāmi). He is mitra—promoter of welfare and guardian of the rite; īḍya indicates obligatory adoration among companions.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms Agni’s companionship with priests and sacrificer; strengthens the social-ritual bond required for successful Soma performance.", "theological_insight": "Divinity is approached through friendship and nearness, not fear: Agni is priyá and sakhā, hence naturally worshipful.", "etymology_highlights": "mitra from √mi ‘to bind’ (bond/friendship in later nirukta-style glossing); īḍya from √īḍ ‘to praise’." }
