Vocal Structure

{ "prastava": "o hau", "udgitha": "pavasvendo vṛṣā sutaḥ kṛdhī no", "pratihara": "hāyi ā", "upadrava": "yaśaso jane viśvā apa dviṣo jahi", "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "Treat jahi as the decisive close; avoid excessive melisma there—clarity over ornament.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; collective close if local nidhana is appended." }

Sāyaṇa Commentary

{ "gloss_summary": "Pavasva is the technical injunction for Soma’s passage through the pavitra; dviṣaḥ includes those who obstruct the sacrifice (rakṣas, rivals), hence jahi is read as apotropaic efficacy. Yaśas is the desired fruit among men.", "ritual_interpretation": "Supports successful purification and protection of the yajña; removes hostile forces that could mar offerings.", "theological_insight": "Soma as purifier is also protector: purity itself becomes weapon against obstruction.", "etymology_highlights": "pū (to purify) underlying pavasva; indu = bright drop; dviṣ = to hate/oppose; jahi = han (to strike)." }
