Aindra-sāman (generic; specific gāna-name not supplied in input)

{ "prastava": "(typical Aindra prastāva with stobha extension; exact gāna text not provided)", "udgitha": "ima u tvā vi cakṣate sakhāya indra sominaḥ", "pratihara": "(responsive reprise/cadential answering; exact gāna text not provided)", "upadrava": "puṣṭāvanto yathā paśum", "nidhana": "(cadential nidhana with prolonged final)", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna, the division is given by semantic/ritual phrasing: address and recognition in udgītha; simile/cadence in upadrava; nidhana prolongs the final object for ritual ‘sealing’.", "singer_assignments": "Prastāva—Prastotṛ; Udgītha & Upadrava—Udgātṛ; Pratihāra—Pratihartṛ; Nidhana—choral (all three singers)." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sominaḥ are those furnished with Soma (yajamāna/ṛtvij); vi-cakṣate indicates ritual recognition/clear beholding of Indra’s presence at pressing; paśu is a valued sacrificial offering, a cherished victim set apart.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse validates the moment of ‘arrival’—Indra is to be recognized as present and entitled to Soma; the community’s prosperous state (puṣṭi) is tied to correct offering and attention.", "theological_insight": "Divine presence is not merely invoked but ‘seen’ through yajña; prosperity is the outward sign of inner alignment with the deity’s power.", "etymology_highlights": "vi-cakṣ—‘to see distinctly’; somin—‘possessing Soma’; paśu—‘that which is bound/kept’, hence sacrificial victim/cherished offering." }
