Mantra 6

{ "prastava": "(unspecified; would prepare the ‘installation’ mood)", "udgitha": "Main delivery with emphasis on ‘dhīmahe’.", "pratihara": "Response after the attainment clause, reaffirming the address ‘viśpate’.", "upadrava": "After-song focusing on ‘suvīram’.", "nidhana": "Final collective cadence on ‘āhuta’.", "structure_notes": "This verse benefits from an elongated udgītha center (‘dhīmahe’) as the musical ‘installing’ action; exact stobhas depend on gāna mapping.", "singer_assignments": "Standard Samavedic roles." }

{ "gloss_summary": "viśpati = Agni as lord/presiding deity of the worshipping community and domestic-sacrificial sphere; dhīmahe construed ritually as ‘we place/maintain thee’; āhuta = one who is invoked and fed by oblations.", "ritual_interpretation": "Establishes Agni’s presence and governance over the rite; requests radiance and su-vīra (excellent progeny/heroic strength) as fruit.", "theological_insight": "Agni’s lordship is relational: he becomes viśpati where he is ‘placed’ by dhī and nourished by āhuti—divinity realized through sustained ritual attention.", "etymology_highlights": "dhā (to place) in dhīmahe; viś (clan/community) + pati (lord); dyu (sky/light) in dyumat as radiance." }
