Mantra 6

Aindra (standard Indra-stotra tune; specific Sāman-name not stated in input)

{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, typically with o/ho/hā expansions introducing the first pada)", "udgitha": "endum ind्रāya siñcata (main statement inviting Soma for Indra)", "pratihara": "pibāti somyaṃ madhu (responsive confirmation: he drinks the sweet Soma)", "upadrava": "pra rādhāṃsi codayate (after-song: he impels rewards)", "nidhana": "mahitvanā (cadential seal on ‘greatness’, often lengthened)", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma practice, the semantic core sits in udgītha–upadrava, while prastāva and nidhana carry melodic identity through stobha and prolongation.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; Nidhana: all three together (with chorus-like closure)." }

{ "gloss_summary": "endu = soma-rasa; siñcata = pour into camū/graha vessels; rādhāṃsi = wealth-gifts to the yajamāna; mahitvanā = by Indra’s greatness.", "ritual_interpretation": "Instruction to officiants to place Soma into the proper vessels and offer so Indra drinks and grants sacrificial recompense.", "theological_insight": "Divine might is shown as ‘impulsion’ of prosperity—Indra activates the yajña’s fruit when properly invoked with Soma.", "etymology_highlights": "apratiṣkuta not here; key is mahitva (from mah ‘great’) indicating overpowering excellence; endu as ‘drop/bright essence’." }
