{ "gloss_summary": "Vṛtra is read broadly as obstruction (vighna) to rite and fruit; ‘bhadraṃ manaḥ’ is the correct sacrificial intention (saṅkalpa) without which action is defective; ‘sthirāḥ’ are stabilizing protections/defences against many forces; by Agni’s favour the desired attainment (abhiṣṭi) is won.", "ritual_interpretation": "A prayer for mental correctness and protective stability so the yajña proceeds without impediment and yields fruit.", "theological_insight": "The rite’s success depends on inner intention as much as outer act; divine power is invoked to stabilize both.", "etymology_highlights": "vṛtra as ‘āvṛṇoti’—that which covers/obstructs; abhiṣṭi as ‘desired goal/attainment’." }
