{ "prastava": "Prelude setting invocation", "udgitha": "Main emphasis on dhiyā… puruṇāman… puruṣṭuta", "pratihara": "Response that often tightens rhythm before repetition motif", "upadrava": "Reiteration/extension over sóme-sóme ā́bhuvaḥ", "nidhana": "Concluding cadence sealing ‘presence’", "structure_notes": "The reduplication (some-some) naturally invites musical repetition or uha-style reshaping in performance.", "singer_assignments": "Standard Udgātṛ group roles as in sāman structure." }
{ "gloss_summary": "dhī = stotra/arc, efficacious inspired thought embodied in chant; gavyayā = cow/wealth-bringing praise; ‘some-some’ refers to repeated pressings/savanas where Indra’s presence is renewed.", "ritual_interpretation": "Each Soma service re-invites Indra; correct stotra ensures attendance and fruit at every pressing.", "theological_insight": "The deity is ‘many-named’ because many functions are accessed through specific praises; presence is conditioned by right invocation.", "etymology_highlights": "dhī from √dhī (to think/meditate); puru-nāman (many names); puruṣṭuta (much praised)." }
