Mantra 10

Agneya-sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)

{ "prastava": "(typical Agneya opening with stobha such as ‘o’/‘hā’ may be applied in gāna forms; not specified in input)", "udgitha": "śruṣṭyagne navasya me stomasya vīra viśpate", "pratihara": "(responsive reiteration/fragment per Kauthuma gāna practice; not specified)", "upadrava": "ni māyinastapasā rakṣaso", "nidhana": "daha (often lengthened in gāna with terminal nyāsa)", "structure_notes": "In Kauthuma singing, the semantic ‘turn’ often coincides with upadrava: from invitation (‘śruṣṭi’) to expulsion (‘ni…daha’).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates prastāva; Udgātṛ carries udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ gives pratihāra; Nidhana commonly settled by all (or reinforced by the group) to seal the protective intent." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: ‘stoma’ is the regulated laud of Sāman-chanters; Agni is asked to listen to the new praise. ‘māyinaḥ rakṣasaḥ’ are illusion-working obstructers of sacrifice; ‘tapasā’ is Agni’s sacrificial heat.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse functions as a protective injunction within yajña: Agni’s heat preserves the correctness of recitation, offering, and sequence by removing impediments.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both the hearing witness of stoma and the active purifier; sacred order is maintained by a synergy of correct song (stoma) and divine heat (tapas).", "etymology_highlights": "ṛtāvan-type interpretive style implied: stoma as niyata-stuti; māyin as māyā-kṛt (deceiver); tapas as dāha-hetu tejas." }
