К золотистому и дерзновенному они натягивают лук мужской мощи; светлые (струи) выступают к могучему владыке — для очищения — пред певцами, стремительные в своём беге.

Pavamāna-sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)

{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude, commonly ‘hā/ā’ expansions before the first pada in Pavamāna sets)", "udgitha": "Main text-bearing stretch over ‘ā haryatāya…’ with melismatic prolongation on ‘hari/śukrā’", "pratihara": "Responsive shortening/answer phrase aligning with caesura after ‘pauṃsyam’", "upadrava": "Re-launch of flow imagery ‘vi yanty…’ with renewed rise", "nidhana": "Cadential settling on final pada ‘vipām agre mahīyuvaḥ’ with collective closure", "structure_notes": "Exact syllable-to-svara mapping depends on the Kauthuma Gāna; Pavamāna songs typically distribute semantic ‘flow’ words into udgītha/upadrava for maximum extension.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ begins; Udgātṛ carries udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ answers; all join in nidhana per sāmastotra practice." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Soma (bright streams) is purified and goes forth; ‘asura’ is taken in the ancient sense of ‘mighty lord’; ‘nirṇij’ denotes washing/cleansing; ‘bow-stretching’ is metaphor for energizing prowess.", "ritual_interpretation": "Refers to the pressing and purification (pavamāna) where Soma is ‘cleansed’ with waters/filters and made fit for offering before the chanting priests.", "theological_insight": "Divinity is approached through refinement: the same force (pauṃsya/vīrya) becomes sacred when purified and directed to the rightful lordship sustaining ṛta.", "etymology_highlights": "asura = prabhūta-śakti/aiśvarya (lordly power); nirṇij = śodhana/prakṣālana (washing); haryata/hari = tawny-golden brilliance." }
