Mantra 2

Unknown/unspecified (requires specific Sāmavedic gāna tradition mapping for this arcikā)

{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, typically ‘hā/ho/ā’ expansions before the first lexical segment)", "udgitha": "prait(u) brahmaṇaspatiḥ … (main text-bearing stretch)", "pratihara": "(responsive re-articulation around the central address, often pivoting at ‘acchā vīram…’)", "upadrava": "devā yajñaṃ nayantu naḥ (after-song carrying the ‘leading’ petition)", "nidhana": "(closing stobha + final lexical cadence on ‘naḥ’)", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna mapping, the five-part division is given functionally: prastāva establishes pitch-field; udgītha carries invocatory core; pratihāra answers/turns; upadrava delivers the collective petition; nidhana seals with repose.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Brahmaṇaspati is the lord of sacred utterance who impels and protects the yajña; Sūnṛtā is auspicious truthful speech ensuring faultlessness; ‘paṅkti’ indicates ordered arrangement/measure; the gods are requested to conduct the sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "Prayer for correct initiation and orderly progression of the rite, with speech itself treated as a ritual power guaranteeing success.", "theological_insight": "Vāc is not merely descriptive but causal in ritual theology; divine lordship over speech is the condition for yajña reaching devas.", "etymology_highlights": "brahmaṇas-pati = ‘lord of brahman’; sū-nṛtā = ‘good/true speech’; paṅkti = ‘row/fivefold order’ implying measured distribution." }
