{ "prastava": null, "udgitha": null, "pratihara": null, "upadrava": null, "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "Imperatives (apaghnan, nudasva) commonly receive emphatic melodic treatment; pratihāra may mirror the expulsive cadence.", "singer_assignments": "Udgātṛ emphasizes the command-phrases; Pratihartṛ reinforces response; group nidhana seals the warding intent." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma, while purifying (pavase), smites away mṛdhaḥ (obstructions) and drives away adeva-yu jana (those inimical to devas and sacrifice).", "ritual_interpretation": "Applies to safeguarding the yajña: purified Soma becomes a means to repel impediments and hostile influences.", "theological_insight": "Soma is kratuvit—presiding over the rite’s intelligence; exhilaration (mada) is harnessed to ṛta, not chaos.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu (sacrificial resolve/act); adeva-yu (‘seeking/not honoring the gods’) as anti-yajña disposition." }
