{ "prastava": "(typ.) short stobha prelude setting urgency", "udgitha": "śagdhy ūṣu śacīpata indra viśvābhir ūtibhiḥ", "pratihara": "bhagaṃ na hi tvā yaśasaṃ vasuvidam", "upadrava": "anu śūra carāmasi", "nidhana": "cadential prolongation on final syllables (carāmasi)", "structure_notes": "Imperative + vow structure often maps neatly: udgītha carries the plea; pratihāra confirms Indra’s qualities; upadrava states the sacrificer’s alignment.", "singer_assignments": "Standard three-priest Sāman distribution with collective nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa takes ūṣu as urgent ‘now’ in liturgy; ūtayaḥ are Indra’s protective interventions that secure the yajamāna’s bhaga (allotted prosperity).", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse functions as protective petition within stotra: requesting comprehensive aid so the sacrifice proceeds unobstructed and yields prosperity-share.", "theological_insight": "Prosperity (bhaga) is not random; it is a share secured by alignment with the glorious, wealth-finding divine hero.", "etymology_highlights": "śacīpati: ‘lord of śacī’ (skill/power); ūtí from √av/√ū (to help/protect): ‘succour’; bhaga as ‘portion/share’." }
