{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; often establishes ‘flowing’ tone)", "udgitha": "pavasva soma mandayan", "pratihara": "indrāya", "upadrava": "madhumattamaḥ", "nidhana": "(cadential close may prolong -tamaḥ with stobha support)", "structure_notes": "Short gāyatrī text typically receives large melodic expansion; indrāya may become a pivot tone for responsorial balance.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part distribution across prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ with choral nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses pavasva as Soma’s technical filtration through the pavitra; mandayan indicates exhilaration bestowed. indrāya marks the primary recipient; madhumattamaḥ denotes the most sweet/nectar-like Soma after purification.", "ritual_interpretation": "Mantra accompanies the filtering stage and dedicates the clarified Soma to Indra’s portion.", "theological_insight": "Purification is teleological: Soma becomes fit for the god and thereby becomes a means of uplift for the sacrificer.", "etymology_highlights": "pū/pav—‘to purify’; madhu—sweet/nectar; -tama superlative intensifying sweetness." }
