Aindra (generic; specific Sāman-name not supplied in input)

{ "prastava": "(Typical) stobha-led opening such as ‘hā u’ or ‘om’ in gāna form; exact stobhas not supplied.", "udgitha": "Text-bearing core: ‘na ki devā inīmasi …’ elongated on key vowels per sāman practice.", "pratihara": "Brief responsorial return mirroring the udgītha cadence (often on a stobha or repeated segment).", "upadrava": "Second text-bearing continuation culminating in ‘carāmasi’ with lengthened final vowel.", "nidhana": "Closing stobha/cadence (often ‘hā’/‘i’/‘om’ depending on sāman); not specified here.", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna, only the canonical fivefold allocation can be given; in performance, mantraśrutyam often receives emphasis via prolongation to signal ‘śruti-authority’.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa emphasizes mantraśrutyam as the authoritative ‘heard’ liturgical form; carāmasi is regular performance according to prescription; the negations stress absence of lapse in worship/approach.", "ritual_interpretation": "A self-attestation by the singers that the stotra is executed in conformity with śruti, ensuring yajña-validity.", "theological_insight": "Divine accessibility is mediated by correct sound-form; fidelity to śruti is itself a devotional act.", "etymology_highlights": "śruti = ‘that which is heard’; car- (‘to move/practice’) → carāmasi ‘we carry out/observe’." }
