{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude leading into ‘pra vaḥ’)", "udgitha": "pra va indrāya bṛhate maruto brahmārcata", "pratihara": "vṛtraṃ hanati vṛtrahā śatakratuḥ", "upadrava": "vajreṇa śataparvaṇā", "nidhana": "(cadential hold on -parvaṇā with nidhana-stobha per śākhā)", "structure_notes": "Imperative invocation (arcata) naturally forms udgītha; the slaying statement becomes responsorial center; final instrument phrase suits upadrava+ending.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "brahma is the stuti-mantra (not speculative abstraction) used in the rite; Maruts are co-praisers who ‘set forward’ the stotra; śatakratuḥ denotes Indra’s many capacities/acts; Indra slays Vṛtra with the hundred-jointed vajra.", "ritual_interpretation": "Marks a Marut-assisted Indra stotra: the choir’s hymn is itself the ritual instrument that supports Indra’s act.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s victory is mediated by properly voiced brahma—divine power and liturgical speech are mutually reinforcing.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu (power/resolve/ritual efficacy); parvan (joint/segment) emphasizing articulated force." }
