Wenn er mit seiner sichtbaren Gestalt die schwarze Finsternis erreicht, die Jungfrau — die Morgenröte — hervorbringend und die Verwandtschaft des Großen Vaters; wenn er hoch empor den Glanz der Sonne stützt und den Himmel mit den Vasus: dann leuchtet Agni, der Tätige, weithin auf.

{ "prastava": "(stobha-led) o/ho/i expansions introducing the ārcika pada; establishes the ‘darkness-to-dawn’ frame.", "udgitha": "kṛṣṇāṃ yadenīmabhi varpasābhūjjanayanyoṣāṃ bṛhataḥ piturjām", "pratihara": "ūrdhvaṃ bhānuṃ sūryasya stabhāyan", "upadrava": "divo vasubhir aratir", "nidhana": "vi bhāti", "structure_notes": "Given the long triṣṭubh-like span, practical Kauthuma performance often distributes semantic peaks across udgītha/pratihāra and reserves a short, emphatic nidhana (vi bhāti) for collective closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana (with supporting hum/resonance as per śākhā practice)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa tends to read the cosmic imagery as Agni’s sacrificial function: he ‘overcomes’ darkness, brings forth Uṣas-like auspicious light, and supports sun and heaven as the rite’s sustaining power.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Supporting the sun/heaven with the Vasus’ becomes a liturgical claim: Agni upholds the devatā-sphere and the Vasu-class through the properly kindled fire and oblations.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both physical flame and cosmic maintainer; the yajña mirrors the universe—when Agni is established, the worlds are ‘propped’ and shine.", "etymology_highlights": "stabhāyan: from √stambh ‘to prop/support’; aratiḥ taken as ‘active/energetic’ agent; bhānu as ‘radiance’ indicating manifest tejas." }
