{ "prastava": null, "udgitha": null, "pratihara": null, "upadrava": null, "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "Given the imperative ‘gāyata’, prastāva may function as a ‘call’, udgītha as the main naming/epithet section, and nidhana as the sealing ‘ā vivāsata’. Exact segmentation depends on the gāna.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates; Udgātṛ carries the main imperative and epithets; Pratihartṛ answers; all conclude." }
{ "gloss_summary": "abhi pra gāyata is an explicit injunction to sāmagāna (not mere recitation); ā vivāsata denotes ritual honour/service (upacāra) through stotra; epithets underline Indra’s frequent invocation and praise.", "ritual_interpretation": "The chant itself is the offering that welcomes Indra to Soma; performance fulfills hospitality.", "theological_insight": "Divine approach is mediated by sound; right praise is a form of service that ‘hosts’ the deity.", "etymology_highlights": "vivās (to serve/attend upon); puru-hūta/puru-ṣṭuta as multiplicity of invocation/praise." }
