{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, typically ‘hā/ho/i’ depending on the Aindra gāna tradition; not specified in input)", "udgitha": "endra pṛkṣu kāsu cid nṛmṇaṃ tanūṣu dhehi naḥ", "pratihara": "satrājid ugra (response/echo segment, often shortened or melodically mirrored)", "upadrava": "pauṃsyam (extended with melodic prolongation in gāna)", "nidhana": "(Closing stobha-cadence; often ‘hā’/‘i’ type endings in grāmageya)", "structure_notes": "In Aindra practice, epithets (‘satrājit’, ‘ugra’) often receive elongation and a higher pitch-point to ‘seal’ the boon.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa reads pṛkṣu as contests where victory yields gain; the request is for nṛmṇa placed into our tanū (persons/bodies).", "ritual_interpretation": "The boon is efficacy in yajña and its worldly fruits—victory over rivals/obstacles that threaten ritual success.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s epithet satrājit guarantees the reliability of the gift; ‘ugra’ signals irresistible power that makes the prayer effective.", "etymology_highlights": "pṛkṣu—‘saṃgrāmeṣu’; tanūṣu—‘śarīreṣu’; satrājit—‘satrūn sadā jayati’; pauṃsya—‘puṃstva/śaurya’." }
