{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; often ‘ho-i’/‘hā-u’ patterns in Aindra settings; exact form not provided)", "udgitha": "apūrvyā purutamāny asmai mahe vīrāya ... vajriṇe", "pratihara": "śantamāni vacāṃsy asmai", "upadrava": "sthavirāya takṣuḥ", "nidhana": "(final prolongation on takṣuḥ / -kṣuḥ as cadence, per gāna practice)", "structure_notes": "Aindra sāmans commonly place the string of epithets in the udgītha for heroic build; the ‘śantamāni’ line functions as pacifying turn before the closing craft-verb.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; Nidhana: ensemble unison." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses takṣuḥ as ‘they composed/constructed stotras’; vacāṃsi as mantra-utterances; śantamāni as peace-giving auspicious words; vajrī as Indra the destroyer of enemies; apūrvyāḥ as previously unsaid forms.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse legitimizes stotra-making as a sacrificial act: well-crafted praise is itself an offering that steadies the rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is approached through ‘śabda-kṛti’—the intentional crafting of speech that becomes a vehicle of śānti and victory.", "etymology_highlights": "takṣ- ‘to fashion/carpent’; śanta ‘pacified/auspicious’; vajra as instrument of shatru-nāśa." }
