{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; not supplied—could be used prominently here)", "udgitha": "arcanty arkaṃ marutaḥ svarkkāḥ", "pratihara": "ā stobhati śrutaḥ", "upadrava": "yuvā sa indraḥ", "nidhana": "indraḥ (final unison cadence)", "structure_notes": "This verse naturally supports inserting explicit stobha syllables around ‘ā stobhati’; without the gāna, placement is indicative, not prescriptive.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Maruts, as good-praisers, praise the hymn; Indra, renowned and youthful, is magnified by stobha—the characteristic Sāman interjectional chanting.", "ritual_interpretation": "Maruts’ praise accompanies Indra’s stotra; stobha is the musical device that intensifies the liturgical offering of sound.", "theological_insight": "Sound is sacrament: the rite’s musical ‘ornament’ is not mere decoration but an instrument of divine manifestation and fame (śruti/śruta).", "etymology_highlights": "stobha = laudatory interjection/augmentation; śruta = ‘heard’ → ‘renowned’; su-arkāḥ = ‘good hymners’." }
