In performance, Pavamāna-sāmans typically use stobha-led prastāva (e.g., hā/ho/ā) to ‘open the stream’, then extend key words like soma/pavasva/sudhāra with melismatic udgītha.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ intones prastāva; Udgātṛ carries udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ responds with pratihāra; all conclude in nidhana (Kauthuma udgātṛ-triad)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is enjoined to purify (pavasva) through the pavitra; dyumnī praises brilliance; sudhāraḥ indicates fair, unobstructed flow; anupūrvyaḥ denotes proceeding according to the rite’s proper sequence.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse accompanies Soma’s ritual purification: pressing → filtering through wool → preparation for offering; ‘undeviating’ underscores faultless ritual procedure.", "theological_insight": "Soma’s ‘self-purification’ is both physical and divine: the deity manifests fully when the offering is refined and ordered; rite and deity mutually actualize.", "etymology_highlights": "pū/pav (to purify/clarify); dhārā (stream); anupūrvya (anu + pūrva: following the prior order); avīnāma (a- + vīnāma: not bending/turning aside)." }
