Pavamāna-sāman (generic)
{ "prastava": "ō/hō-i (stobha prelude; typically lengthened to set the mode)", "udgitha": "asya preṣā hemanā pūyamāno devo devebhiḥ samapṛkta rasam sutaḥ pavitraṃ paryeti", "pratihara": "rebhanm-iva sadma", "upadrava": "paśumanti hotā", "nidhana": "ōm/hō (cadential stobha; school-dependent)", "structure_notes": "Text is distributed to privilege the filtration verb (paryeti) in the udgītha, with a lighter response on the ‘singer/seat’ simile, and a fruit-bearing closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all (or Udgātṛ-led): nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma, following ritual directions (preṣāḥ) and purified by the ‘golden’ means (hemanā), passes through the pavitra (woollen filter/avī); being associated with the gods, he approaches the sacred seat like a singer; ‘hotā’ is construed functionally as Soma acting as invoker/bestower of results.", "ritual_interpretation": "pavitra = avī (woollen strainer) in Soma-processing; preṣāḥ = officiants’ ritual directives; paśumanti = cattle/wealth as phala of correct offering.", "theological_insight": "Soma is deva among devas: his purification is simultaneously physical (juice) and sacral (fitness for gods), enabling the rite’s efficacy.", "etymology_highlights": "pavitra from √pū (to purify); preṣā from √iṣ/√preṣ (to impel/direct); hotā as ‘invoker’ applied here to Soma by function." }
