Soma Pavamāna’s ordered purification and forward flow through the pavitra for divine enjoyment and ritual success
अग्ने तमद्याश्वं न स्तोमैः क्रतुं न भद्रं हृदिस्पृशम् ऋध्यामा त ओहैः
agne tamadyāśvaṃ na stomaiḥ kratuṃ na bhadraṃ hṛdispṛśam ṛdhyāmā ta ohaiḥ
ágne táṃ adyā́śvaṃ ná stómaiḥ krátum ná bhadráṃ hṛ́dispṛśam ṛdhyā́mā te óhaiḥ
О Агни, тебя сегодня — как коня — мы понуждаем хвалами; тебя — как благую силу, касающуюся сердца; да преуспеем мы твоими возгласами-призываниями.

{ "prastava": "o vā / hā (agneya prastāva often compact; exact gāna not supplied)", "udgitha": "agne tam adyāśvaṃ na stomaiḥ", "pratihara": "kratuṃ na bhadraṃ hṛdispṛśam", "upadrava": "ṛdhyāmā te ohaiḥ", "nidhana": "hā u / om (closing)", "structure_notes": "The similes (‘aśvaṃ na’, ‘kratuṃ na’) can be musically mirrored by paired phrases; keep ‘hṛdispṛśam’ tender and slightly softened in tone.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ leads main and after-song; Pratihartṛ answers; all close." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Similes are exhortative: as a horse is urged to speed, so Agni is stimulated by stoma; ‘kratu’ is Agni’s sacrificial efficacy (yajña-sādhanatva); ‘ohaiḥ’ are calls of invitation that bring Agni to the offering.", "ritual_interpretation": "Directly tied to inviting and empowering Agni for successful conveyance of offerings; prosperity (ṛdhyāma) is the rite’s fruit.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both power and benevolence—fierce capability made auspicious when touched by praise and devotion.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu from √kṛ (to do) in sense of effective resolve; oha as ‘call/summons’; hṛdispṛś = ‘touching the heart’ (hṛd + spṛś)." }
