{ "prastava": "(stobha-led prelude, typically ‘hā/ho’ expansions before sa idhānaḥ…)", "udgitha": "sa idhāno vasuṣkavir agnir īḍenyo…", "pratihara": "(brief responsorial return on key words like īḍenyaḥ / revat)", "upadrava": "asmabhyaṃ pūrvaṇīka dīdihi (often carried with intensified ascent)", "nidhana": "(closing sustained cadence on dīdihi / revat—joined ensemble)", "structure_notes": "In Agneya settings, the semantic ‘kindling → praise → leadership → shining’ maps naturally to the five-fold arc (rise, proclamation, response, intensification, closure).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana (with supporting hum/ā)" }
{ "gloss_summary": "idhānaḥ = samidbhiḥ dīpyamānaḥ; vasuṣkaviḥ = vasūni dadāti, kaviḥ krāntadarśī hotṛrūpaḥ; pūrvaṇīkaḥ = yajñasya agre netā; dīdihi = dīptim kuru rayyā saha.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is invoked as the leading power that begins and conducts the yajña; his ‘shining’ is the successful ritual blaze ensuring offerings reach the gods.", "theological_insight": "Agni is not merely physical fire but the knowing priest within—kavi/hotṛ—whose illumination grants prosperity and right-leading.", "etymology_highlights": "kavi = ‘krāntadarśin’ (far-seeing); īḍenya = ‘worthy of īḍā/praise’; pūrva-nīka = ‘one who leads in front’." }
