Indra indeed the gāthā-singers (celebrate) with the Bṛhat; Indra the hymn-utterers (praise) with their hymns; the voices have lauded Indra.

Bṛhat-associated Aindra Sāman (exact tune-name not supplied in input)
{ "prastava": "Often built on stobha and first ‘indram’ as a launching refrain.", "udgitha": "Main elaboration around ‘gāthinaḥ bṛhat… indram…’ with Bṛhat-like breadth.", "pratihara": "Responsive ‘indram…’ refrain, tightening ensemble synchrony.", "upadrava": "‘indraṃ vāṇīr anūṣata’ as after-song confirming completion of praise.", "nidhana": "Final sustained cadence (commonly on ‘anūṣata’ or a repeated ‘indra’ in gāna practice).", "structure_notes": "Because ‘indram’ recurs, Kauthuma gāna often uses it as structural joints between sections; Bṛhat association favors longer udgītha spans.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ cues refrain; Udgātṛ expands Bṛhat-like udgītha; Pratihartṛ answers on the repeated ‘indram’; all join to seal the nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "bṛhat is taken as a technical chant designation (Bṛhat-sāman/lofty stotra); gāthinaḥ are sāman-singers; arkebhiḥ are ṛk-verses used for praise; vāṇīḥ are voices that laud Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "Differentiates liturgical roles: sāman specialists and ṛk specialists both contribute to Indra’s praise within the Soma rite.", "theological_insight": "Indra is accessible through multiple sacred media; the rite is a harmonization of disciplines rather than a single technique.", "etymology_highlights": "bṛhat from √bṛh ‘to grow/expand’ → ‘the great/lofty’ (as chant-type and as quality)." }
