{ "prastava": "Possible lead ‘o… acchā’ (often suitable for stobha-led approach)", "udgitha": "‘hi tvā sahasaḥ sūno aṅgiraḥ…’ through the ritual motion statement", "pratihara": "Turn around ‘ūrjo napātaṃ’ as a responsive epithet cluster", "upadrava": "‘ghṛtakeśam īmahe’—devotional intensification", "nidhana": "'gniṃ yajñeṣu pūrvyam’—cadential affirmation of Agni’s primordiality", "structure_notes": "Epithets form natural musical units; ‘pūrvyam’ is a strong nidhana close.", "singer_assignments": "Standard udgātṛ group distribution; nidhana in unison for firmness." }
{ "gloss_summary": "The ladles, by their use in the rite, ‘go toward’ Agni; Agni is praised as son of strength, Aṅgiras, offspring of nourishment, ghee-haired, ancient in sacrifices.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘srucaḥ caranti’ is taken literally as the motion of offering-ladles in adhvara; the verse mirrors the rite’s visible action.", "theological_insight": "Agni’s ‘ghṛtakeśa’ underscores his being fed/adorned by ghee—sacrifice sustains the divine mediator who sustains the sacrifice.", "etymology_highlights": "adhvara as orderly sacrifice; napāt (‘offspring’) marking Agni’s generative relation to ūrj (nourishment)." }
