{ "prastava": "Prelude stobhas; establish warmth before the petition.", "udgitha": "Main text; melodic lift on gomataḥ and jātavedo.", "pratihara": "Response reinforcing the boon-request (dhehi).", "upadrava": "After-song expands ‘mahī’ with sustained vowel to depict greatness.", "nidhana": "Closing cadence grounding the boon into stability.", "structure_notes": "Ensure ‘dhehi’ is rhythmically precise—petition point—while allowing ‘jātavedo’ to carry the melodic crown.", "singer_assignments": "Standard prastotṛ/udgātṛ/pratihartṛ roles with chorus nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "vāja = sacrificial prize—nourishment/victory granted by rite; gomant = wealth in cattle as principal yajña-fruit; śravas = fame/glory (pratiṣṭhā) and prosperity accruing to yajamāna; Jātavedas = Agni who knows all beings/essences.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is invoked as the giver of ritual fruits—material (cattle, nourishment) and social-spiritual (renown).", "theological_insight": "Prosperity is framed as sacrificially mediated: fruit arises when inner and outer fires are rightly tended.", "etymology_highlights": "gomant ‘possessing cows’; īśāna ‘sovereign’; śravas ‘that which is heard’ → reputation/glory." }
