{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude establishing settled tone; less ornate than interrogative verses.", "udgitha": "adhā tvaṃ hi naḥ karo viśvā asmabhyaṃ", "pratihara": "sukṣitīḥ", "upadrava": "vājadraviṇaso", "nidhana": "giraḥ", "structure_notes": "A strong pratihāra on sukṣitīḥ can be used as a ‘granting’ refrain; nidhana on giraḥ emphasizes that hymn-offering is the means and seal.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa reads karaḥ as kartā—Agni accomplishes the sacrificer’s aims through yajña; sukṣitīḥ are stable prosperities/dwellings secured by divine favor; vājadraviṇasaḥ qualifies the hymns as those that bring food-strength and wealth.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse is a phala-oriented request: by praising Agni correctly, the sacrificer obtains kṣiti (settlement), vāja, and draviṇa as ritual fruits.", "theological_insight": "Speech (giraḥ) is efficacious when offered through Agni; divine agency returns as worldly stability and sustenance.", "etymology_highlights": "sukṣiti: su + kṣiti ‘good settlement/dwelling’; karaḥ from √kṛ ‘to do/make’; draviṇa ‘wealth/means’; vāja ‘nourishing strength/food’." }
