{ "gloss_summary": "No overpowering assailant exists for the worshipper; the vāja is the well-known sacrificial gain—food, strength, and fame—from correct worship.", "ritual_interpretation": "‘Assailant/scatterer’ is the obstructive power that would disperse or spoil the rite; Agni’s praise prevents ritual fragmentation.", "theological_insight": "Agni as guardian of ṛta: right performance yields celebrated fruit, not merely material but also renown anchored in dharma.", "etymology_highlights": "vāja as ‘strength/prize’ (victory-nourishment); śravāyya as ‘that which is to be heard/proclaimed’ (root śru, ‘to hear’)." }
