Mantra 2
Agni as the empowering sacrificial fire who perfects praise and grants prosperity
दाशेम कस्य मनसा यज्ञस्य सहसो यहो कदु वोच इदं नमः
dāśema kasya manasā yajñasya sahaso yaho kadu voca idaṃ namaḥ
dāśema1 kasya2 manasā3 yajñasya1 sahaso2 yaho3 kadu1 voca2 idaṃ3 namaḥ1
Dengan manasā (fikiran), kepada siapakah kami akan menyembah—dia yang perkasa dalam yajña, wahai yang mulia, Agni? Bilakah akan kuucapkan penghormatan ini: namaḥ?

Agneya-sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude setting contemplative tone; prepares the rhetorical questions.", "udgitha": "dāśema kasya manasā yajñasya sahaso yaho", "pratihara": "kadu voca", "upadrava": "idaṃ", "nidhana": "namaḥ", "structure_notes": "The interrogatives naturally divide: the main question in udgītha; the timing-question in pratihāra; the salutation as a compact upadrava+nidhana seal.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana (namaḥ) with unified pitch." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa commonly resolves the interrogatives as rhetorical: the intended recipient is Agni, mighty in the sacrifice because he bears/consumes the oblation; manasā indicates saṅkalpa (mental resolve) as part of worship; kadu is read as a stylistic question leading to utterance of namaḥ.", "ritual_interpretation": "Emphasizes correct intention and timing in the rite—mental worship precedes verbal formulae; namaḥ seals the act.", "theological_insight": "Agni is the efficacy (sahas) of yajña; worship is not only external but rooted in mind’s alignment with ritual order.", "etymology_highlights": "sahas: strength/might; dāśema from √daś ‘to worship/serve’; namaḥ as ‘bowing’ (nam) indicating surrender." }
