{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude to ‘open the seat’ for Indra (not specified).", "udgitha": "Main invitation and Soma exhilaration phrase; textual core carried by Udgātṛ.", "pratihara": "Short response reinforcing the cadence after ‘soma-parvabhiḥ’.", "upadrava": "Concluding assertion ‘mahāṃ abhiṣṭir ojasā’ with broadened sustain.", "nidhana": "Closing stobha/cadence sealing Indra’s presence.", "structure_notes": "This verse naturally supports installation: call (ihi) → offering context (pressings) → assurance of aid (abhiṣṭiḥ).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ / Udgātṛ / Pratihartṛ / Udgātṛ / all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses soma-parvan as the several pressing-times (or their junctures) and matsi specifically as ‘be gladdened by drinking’ rather than a vague ‘be pleased’; abhiṣṭi is Indra’s great succour by strength.", "ritual_interpretation": "An explicit invitation to Indra to partake at every soma-pressing, ensuring his continual support across the rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is not coerced but welcomed and nourished; Soma is the sacramental medium through which Indra’s protective force becomes active for the sacrificer.", "etymology_highlights": "matsi from √mad ‘to be exhilarated’; parvan ‘joint/juncture’ → pressing-times; ojas ‘vigor/strength’." }
