{ "gloss_summary": "pavate is taken as ‘becomes purified/bright’ through kindling/oblations; ‘for Indra’ indicates Indra’s principal share in sacrifice; vi rājati = shines; mahiṣīva = like a mighty cow—abundant manifestation.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni’s clarified blaze supports Indra’s enjoyment of Soma and the rite’s success.", "theological_insight": "Agni and Soma share the logic of purification; Indra’s victory is grounded in the clarified sacrificial medium.", "etymology_highlights": "pavate from √pū (to purify); śukra (bright/pure); rājati from √rāj (shine)." }
