गाओ—आओ, हम देवों की स्तुति करें; महान धन के लिए सोम को प्रेरित करो। मधुर (सोम) शुद्ध होता रहे, ऊनी छन्ने (अव्य) के पार जाता हुआ; दिव्य इन्दु कलश में आसीन हो।

Pavamāna-sāman (generic)
{ "prastava": "o/hā… leading into the communal call", "udgitha": "pra gāyatābhyarcāma devāntsomaṃ hinota… (main directive)", "pratihara": "ho… (response after ‘mahate dhanāya’)", "upadrava": "svāduḥ pavatāmati vāramavyam… (purification flow)", "nidhana": "ā sīdatu kalaśaṃ deva induḥ (installation cadence)", "structure_notes": "This verse is naturally ‘stotra-instructional’: it cues singing, praising, urging, then culminates in the seated Soma—ideal nidhana line for closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues the call; Udgātṛ carries directives and purification; Pratihartṛ answers; all join firmly on ‘ā sīdatu…’." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Imperatives are read as liturgical coordination: ‘gāyata/abhyarcāma’ unite sāman and ṛc; ‘hinota’ is the priestly urging of Soma-processing; sweet Soma purifies beyond the wool strainer; the divine Indu is made to sit in the kalaśa (Soma-jar).", "ritual_interpretation": "Directly tied to the pressing/straining and transfer into the pitcher; ‘great wealth’ is yajña-phala sought through correct chant and offering.", "theological_insight": "Sound and rite mutually empower: praise invites the gods; purified Soma becomes fit presence; installation in the vessel signifies readiness for divine reception and efficacious bestowal.", "etymology_highlights": "indu—bright drop; kalaśa—jar/vessel; hinota—impel/urge; pav- root—purify/clarify." }
