{ "gloss_summary": "Dāna-language is read as pratyāmnāya: the deity is a fountain of wealth granted as yajña-phala; pari mardhiṣat is ‘let it not be impaired/diminished’; the petitioner asks that whatever is solicited be brought/fulfilled.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms the sacrificer’s rightful expectation of cattle/steeds/wealth as fruits of correct offering and praise.", "theological_insight": "The deity’s generosity is framed as stable and non-depleting—like a spring—when approached through yajña.", "etymology_highlights": "utsa ‘spring’ (upwelling source); hiraṇya ‘gold’ as ‘shining/imperishable’; mard ‘to crush/impair’ with pari- indicating ‘all around/entirely’ → ‘diminish’." }
