{ "prastava": "Stobha-prelude evoking ‘asau ayam…’ with gentle lift.", "udgitha": "Main narrative line through ‘aṃśur madāyāpsu dakṣo giriṣṭhāḥ’.", "pratihara": "Response that tightens rhythm before the ‘landing’ phrase.", "upadrava": "‘śyeno na yonim āsadat’ shaped as the swift turn and settling cadence.", "nidhana": "Collective closure, often lengthened to emphasize ‘seat/settling’.", "structure_notes": "The ‘śyena’ segment is musically paintable: slightly quicker articulation then a long final settle.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part roles." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is described as exhilarating, moving in waters (pressing/filtration), obtained from mountains (giriṣṭhāḥ), and reaching the ritual seat (yoni) swiftly like a falcon.", "ritual_interpretation": "apsu = watery medium of pressing/straining; yoni = place of offering/chant-domain; śyena simile marks swift arrival of prepared Soma to its proper station.", "theological_insight": "Purification is a journey from source (mountain) through process (waters) to consecrated seat (yoni); speed here means readiness and right timing in ṛta.", "etymology_highlights": "giriṣṭhāḥ: ‘standing/abiding in mountains’; yoni: seat/source; āsadat: attained/sat down; śyena: swift raptor (soma-bringer motif)." }
