{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude as per assigned gāna)", "udgitha": "sanemi tvam asmadā adevam kaṃ cid atriṇam", "pratihara": "(Refrain-like response on the repulsion motif)", "upadrava": "sāhvāṃ indo pari bādho apa dvayum", "nidhana": "(Cadence on ‘dvayum’ with possible stobha closure)", "structure_notes": "Apotropaic lines often receive clear segmentation; verbs of expulsion are good points for repetition in gāna.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part sāman distribution among prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ with shared nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Adeva’ is one who obstructs sacrifice and despises the gods; Soma is invoked to overpower and drive away such devourers (atriṇa) and to repel ‘dvayum’ as compounded harm.", "ritual_interpretation": "Soma as consecrated oblation functions as a protective force removing impediments to yajña and safeguarding the pressing/offering.", "theological_insight": "Purity is power: the divine cannot be co-present with anti-divine obstruction; Soma’s sanctity expels it.", "etymology_highlights": "sanemi (steady course); atriṇa (devourer); dvaya (twofold) indicating compounded/paired evils." }
