Aindra (Uttarārcika) — melody unspecified in input
{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude signaling invitation; sets the ‘arrival’ motif before ‘endra yāhi’.", "udgitha": "Main invitation and lineage praise: ‘endra yāhi…upa kaṇvasya suṣṭutim’.", "pratihara": "Answering confirmation, often reinforcing the ‘upa’ (approach) idea with stable cadence.", "upadrava": "Heaven-clause: ‘divo amuṣya śāsato divaṃ yaya divāvaso’ with broadened melodic span.", "nidhana": "Final settling on ‘divāvaso’/‘divam’ cadence, sealing the ascent intention.", "structure_notes": "Performance can highlight two movements: (1) Indra’s approach, (2) the sacrificer’s ascent/benefit; the melody often mirrors this by rising in the second half.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha+upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), all (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: an āvāhana—Indra is summoned to Kaṇva’s excellent praise. ‘amuṣya śāsataḥ’ is the yajamāna/ṛtvij who directs the rite by rule. ‘divaṃ yaya’ is read as ‘go to heaven’ or ‘lead (him) to heaven’; ‘divāvaso’ is Indra as giver of heavenly good.", "ritual_interpretation": "Invitation within the Soma liturgy to secure Indra’s presence and the sacrificer’s attainment of svarga as fruit of correct performance.", "theological_insight": "Heaven is tied to vidhi (rule) and stuti (praise): divine arrival and human ascent are mutually linked through sound-offering.", "etymology_highlights": "suṣṭuti (well-praised, from √stu); śāsataḥ (from √śās ‘to command/ordain’); divāvasu (divine/celestial good as ‘vasu’)." }
