Mantra 2
Agni as the ritual guide who secures prosperity (cattle-wealth) and leads the sacrificer to a protected divine ‘abode’ through correct performance

Agneya (generic; specific tune not supplied in input)
{ "prastava": "oṃ / hā-ū (stobha prelude; typical Agneya prastāva may employ brief hā/ho to set pitch)", "udgitha": "abhi prayāṃsi vāhasā dāśvāṃ aśnoti", "pratihara": "martyaḥ kṣayaṃ", "upadrava": "pāvakaśociṣaḥ", "nidhana": "(cadential prolongation on the final word; often with ā/ho stobha in gāna forms)", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna, division is given in a standard semantic-musical segmentation: main action in udgītha, fruit in prati-hāra/upadrava, repose in nidhana.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana (with shared cadence)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Prayāṃsi are successive steps of sacrificial performance; vāhasā is Agni’s carrying power; the giver-worshipper attains kṣaya—secure divine favour/abode—of the purifying-flamed Agni.", "ritual_interpretation": "Correct sequencing of acts and offerings, borne by Agni, yields an unbroken path to the rite’s fruit.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both means and purifier: the deity’s nature guarantees the transition from human act to divine reception.", "etymology_highlights": "adhvara-style reading implied: emphasis on ritual correctness; pāvaka as ‘that which purifies’ (root pū)." }
