Flow around, O Soma, radiant and of ancient course, bringing sustenance unto us; with the expressed juice, sounding as thou runnest, flow hither to the purifier (the strainer).

Pavamana-sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "(typical pavamāna prastāva uses stobha-led onset such as o/ho/i; exact syllables depend on the Gāna)", "udgitha": "pari dyukṣaṃ sanadrāyiṃ bharadvājaṃ no andhasā svāno arṣa pavitra ā (with sāman elongations and stobhas inserted per Kauthuma gāna)", "pratihara": "Responsorial reprise/answer on the cadence segment (often around arṣa…ā), per assigned pratihartṛ pattern in the gāna.", "upadrava": "After-song extension emphasizing ‘pavitra ā’ as the purificatory goal; may repeat key words with melismatic lengthening.", "nidhana": "Final settling tone on ā / long vowel cadence, joined by all singers.", "structure_notes": "Without the specific Kauthuma Gāna, exact stobha placement cannot be fixed; however, pavamāna settings typically expand the approach-to-filter phrase into the upadrava/nidhana.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana (with supporting hum-like continuity)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "pavitra is the woollen strainer; andhas is the expressed Soma fit for offering; svāna is the auspicious audible rushing/foaming of Soma as it runs; the verse urges Soma to flow to the purifier bringing nourishment.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra accompanies physical filtration: the sound of the stream is treated as a sign of successful pressing and as an auspicious marker for offering-readiness.", "theological_insight": "Soma is self-purifying (pavamāna): divine potency becomes fully divine when it conforms to ritual order (ṛta) through the pavitra—outer rite mirrors inner sanctification.", "etymology_highlights": "andhas (pressed essence); pavitra (that which purifies/filters); svāna (from √svan ‘to sound’)." }
