{ "prastava": "o / hā-yi (stobha-led prelude; exact stobha sequence depends on the specific gāna)", "udgitha": "pra va indrāya vṛtrahantamāya viprāya gāthāṃ gāyata", "pratihara": "yaṃ (or a shortened reprise responding to the udgītha; varies by uha)", "upadrava": "yaṃ jujoṣate (carried forward with melodic extension on ju-jo-ṣa-te)", "nidhana": "ho-i / o (closing stobhas; recension-specific)", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma practice commonly expands key words with stobha and lengthening (pluta-like sustain) at semantic peaks (Indra, Vṛtrahan, jujoṣate).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates stobha-prastāva; Udgātṛ carries udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ answers; finale (nidhana) coordinated by all singers." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa reads vṛtra as the ‘obstructor’ (of waters and of sacrifice) and takes jujoṣate as Indra’s being pleased—accepting both stotra and Soma.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse functions as an explicit injunction to sing: the stotra is the means by which Indra is invited to partake and empower the rite.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s wisdom (vipra) is not merely martial; it is knowing-power that restores flow (waters/ṛta) when properly invoked.", "etymology_highlights": "jujoṣate from √juṣ ‘to be pleased/accept’; vipra as ‘knower/inspired’; vṛtra as ‘covering/obstruction’." }
