Pavamāna sāman (unspecified tune)
{ "prastava": "o/ho + hā-i lead-in, establishing the flow motif", "udgitha": "sa na indrāya yajyave varuṇāya marudbhyaḥ varivovit parisrava (deity names often receive elongation)", "pratihara": "response emphasizing ‘varivo-vit’ or ‘parisrava’ cadence", "upadrava": "short reprise with intensified ‘flow’ melisma on parisrava", "nidhana": "closing stobha/nidhana syllables resolving to stable tone", "structure_notes": "Musical phrasing typically breaks after indrāya, varuṇāya, marudbhyaḥ; ‘varivo-vit’ acts as semantic hinge.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ sets prastāva; Udgātṛ carries deity-directed udgītha/upadrava; Pratihartṛ answers; ensemble confirms nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Parisrava’ = let Soma flow through the filter; ‘varivaḥ’ = wide space, relief, safety, prosperity; Soma is requested to stream for us toward Indra/Varuṇa/Maruts.", "ritual_interpretation": "During straining, the stotra directs the purified Soma to the gods as recipients; ‘wide space’ is the yajamāna’s unobstructed welfare granted through successful offering.", "theological_insight": "Soma is both substance and praise; by correct flow (physical and sonic) the divine order is nourished and returns protection.", "etymology_highlights": "varivas from root √vṛ ‘to choose/cover’ in sense of ‘room, scope’; parisrava from pari+√sru ‘flow around/abundantly’." }
