Devanagari Script

विधुं दद्राणं समने बहूनां युवानं सन्तं पलितो जगार देवस्य पश्य काव्यं महित्वाद्या ममार स ह्यः समान

Samhita Patha

vidhuṃ dadrāṇaṃ samane bahūnāṃ yuvānaṃ santaṃ palito jagāra devasya paśya kāvyaṃ mahitvādyā mamāra sa hyaḥ samāna

Transliteration

vidhuṃ1 dadrāṇaṃ2 samane3 bahūnāṃ | yuvānaṃ1 santaṃ2 palito3 jagāra | devasya1 paśya2 kāvyaṃ3 mahitvā | adyā1 mamāra2 sa3 hyaḥ samānaḥ1

Translation

വിധു (വേഗവാൻ ദേവൻ) അനേകരുടെ സഭയിൽ പാഞ്ഞുചെല്ലുന്നു; യുവാവായിട്ടും സ്ഥിരനായിരിക്കുന്നവനെ പളിതൻ (ധവളകേശൻ) ഋഷി ഗാനത്തോടെ ഉണർത്തി. ദേവന്റെ കാവ്യ-അദ്ഭുതം അവന്റെ മഹിമയാൽ കാണുക; ഇന്ന് അവൻ കര്‍മ്മം സിദ്ധമാക്കുന്നു—പുരാതനകാലം മുതൽ ഒരുപോലെ തന്നെയുള്ളവൻ.

Vocal Structure

{ "prastava": "Prelude to ‘wake’ the space—often a slightly higher opening to signal jagāra theme", "udgitha": "vidhuṃ dadrāṇaṃ samane bahūnāṃ | yuvānaṃ santaṃ palito jagāra", "pratihara": "devasya paśya kāvyaṃ mahitvā (responsive ‘behold!’ emphasis)", "upadrava": "adyā mamāra sa hyaḥ (today he accomplishes…)", "nidhana": "samānaḥ (the same) held in unison", "structure_notes": "Imperative paśya naturally suits a responsorial emphasis; final samānaḥ is an ideal nidhana word for shared settling.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ carries narrative; Pratihartṛ highlights paśya/kāvya; all close on samānaḥ." }

Sāyaṇa Commentary

{ "gloss_summary": "In the samana (assembly/ritual session), the impetuous deity is roused; though ever-young, he is awakened by the aged singer. ‘Paśya kāvyaṃ’ points to a wondrous, efficacious act of sacred speech; ‘adyā’ and ‘hyaḥ samānaḥ’ affirm that the same deity accomplishes today as of old.", "ritual_interpretation": "Depicts the sadas performance: the palita (experienced priest) awakens the deity through stotra, ensuring present efficacy grounded in established tradition.", "theological_insight": "Mantra is performative: the god’s presence and action are ‘awakened’ by correctly transmitted chant; timeless power becomes timely fruit.", "etymology_highlights": "jagāra (√gṛ/√jāgṛ ‘to wake’); kāvya (from kavi ‘seer/poet’—in Vedic sense, inspired cognition); samāna (same, continuous)." }
