Aindra (generic)
{ "prastava": "o vā | (optional)", "udgitha": "īṅkhayantīr apasyuva indraṃ jātam upāsate", "pratihara": "(responsive echo emphasizing ‘jātam’)", "upadrava": "vanvānāsaḥ suvīryam", "nidhana": "(closing cadence/stobha)", "structure_notes": "Best musical emphasis: ‘jātam’ as the manifestation-point; ‘suvīryam’ as the fruit-point.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ leads manifestation and fruit; Pratihartṛ anchors response; all conclude." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Participles describe officiants engaged in sacrificial activity; ‘jāta’ is Indra made present/manifest through rite and Soma; ‘suvīrya’ is the desired fruit—excellent valor/power.", "ritual_interpretation": "Self-referential liturgy: the priests’ actions are framed as worship that causes devatā-sannidhi and yields strength to the sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "Divine manifestation is co-produced by human rite and sacramental Soma; effort and presence are mutually reinforcing.", "etymology_highlights": "apasyu from ‘apas’ (work/rite) + desiderative nuance—desirous of ritual work; upāsate as ‘near-sitting’ implying sustained attendance." }
