{ "prastava": "o", "udgitha": "pavasva deva āyuṣak indram gacchatu te madaḥ", "pratihara": "hau", "upadrava": "vāyum ā roha dharmaṇā", "nidhana": "ā", "structure_notes": "Two-direction offering encoded musically: udgītha culminates in Indra; upadrava ‘ascends’ to Vāyu; nidhana ‘ā’ seals the ordinance.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘dharmaṇā’ is ‘vidhinā’—according to śrauta prescription; Soma’s ‘mada’ is directed to Indra as empowering draught; Vāyu is also a Soma-recipient in the ritual sequence.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse enforces correct offering order and correctness of performance; the chant itself is part of the ‘vidhi’ that makes Soma fit and effective.", "theological_insight": "Ecstasy is sacred only when governed by dharma: Soma’s exhilaration is a divine force that must be rightly assigned to deities/functions.", "etymology_highlights": "pavasva from √pū/√pav; mada from √mad ‘to exhilarate’; dharmaṇā from dharman ‘supporting law/ordinance’." }
