{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude; exact not given.", "udgitha": "Core on ‘agne pavasva svapāḥ’ establishing purificatory theme.", "pratihara": "Response reinforcing ‘asme varcaḥ suvīryam’.", "upadrava": "After-song on ‘dadhadrayiṃ mayi yoṣam’ (placing wealth/enjoyment).", "nidhana": "Collective close sealing the boon as granted/received.", "structure_notes": "Semantic sequence maps cleanly to musical intensification: purification → radiance/strength → integration of prosperity.", "singer_assignments": "Standard Sāman fivefold roles." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is asked to purify himself; as ‘svapāḥ’ he performs good works. ‘Varcas’ is ritual splendor/tejas accruing to patron and priests; ‘suvīrya’ as strength/progeny; ‘drayi/draviṇa’ as wealth enabling fees and continuation of sacrifice; ‘yoṣa’ as comfort/enjoyment.", "ritual_interpretation": "Requests the standard yajña-phala set: tejas, strength, and resources for sustaining the sacrificial cycle.", "theological_insight": "Purification is prerequisite to prosperity; Agni grants both brilliance and orderly enjoyment when approached rightly.", "etymology_highlights": "svapāḥ = su-apāḥ (good in action); varcas from √vṛc/tejas sense (radiance); draviṇa/drayi as substance/wealth; yoṣa as enjoyment/comfort." }
