{ "prastava": "Stobha-led prelude setting a flowing tempo", "udgitha": "Text-bearing center emphasizing ghṛtáṃ and āśíraṃ", "pratihara": "Responsive cadence confirming the ‘milking’ completion", "upadrava": "Continuation/echo over amṛ́tasya pipyuṣī́ḥ", "nidhana": "Collective resolution, often lengthening the final fullness-word", "structure_notes": "Key semantic peaks: ghṛtam (clarity), āśiram (mixture/blessing), amṛtasya (immortality).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ → Udgātṛ → Pratihartṛ → Udgātṛ → all." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Cows’ are interpreted as ritual streams/vessels producing ghṛta and āśir; āśir is Soma mixed with milk/curd; amṛta denotes Soma’s immortalizing nature; pipyuṣīḥ = abounding/full.", "ritual_interpretation": "Describes the practical liturgy: pressed Soma is ‘milked’ into cups and mixed; the song consecrates the mixture as fit for Indra.", "theological_insight": "Immortality is approached through refined offering—essence distilled by rite and mantra becomes amṛta-like in effect.", "etymology_highlights": "āśir as ‘mixture/blessing’; pipyuṣ from √pyā (to swell, be full)." }
