Mantra 9
Pavamāna Soma’s purifying flow as both giver of victorious wealth and protector of the rite (apotropaic cleansing).
प्र सुन्वानास्यान्धसो मर्तो न वष्ट तद्वचः अप श्वानमराधसं हता मखं न भृगवः
pra sunvānāsyāndhaso marto na vaṣṭa tadvacaḥ apa śvānamarādhasaṃ hatā makhaṃ na bhṛgavaḥ
pra1 sunvānāsy āndhaso2 marto na vaṣṭa3 tadvacaḥ | apa1 śvānam arādhasaṃ2 hatā makhaṃ na3 bhṛgavaḥ ||
రసం నుండి నీవు ముందుకు ముందుకు పిండబడుతున్నావు; మర్త్యుడు ఆ పవిత్ర వచనాన్ని కోరుతున్నాడు. హే జనులారా, ఆ అరాధస్ (అశ్రద్ధ) కుక్కను దూరం తరిమివేయండి; భృగువుల వలె యజ్ఞాన్ని కాపాడుతూ అతనిని దండించండి.

Pavamāna-sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "Brief stobha prelude; set a firm tonal center before command phrases.", "udgitha": "Main stretch on first half, culminating in ‘tad vacaḥ’ as a held, sanctifying tone.", "pratihara": "Responsive punctuation after ‘tad vacaḥ’.", "upadrava": "Expulsive command section ‘apa śvānam… hatā…’ with emphatic delivery.", "nidhana": "Collective closure on ‘makhaṃ na bhṛgavaḥ’—seal of protection.", "structure_notes": "In performance, keep semantic clarity high; avoid over-ornamenting ‘apa/hatā’—let them cut cleanly.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part distribution; Udgātṛ leads the expulsive upadrava; all seal the nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is pressed; the mortal seeks the stotra/utterance. ‘Dog’ signifies an obstructer of sacrifice, irreverent/without offering (arādhasa). He is to be driven away and struck, as Bhṛgus protected the makha.", "ritual_interpretation": "Apotropaic protection of the Soma rite; exclusion of the unfit and safeguarding of the sacrificial performance and its recitations.", "theological_insight": "Sacred speech requires purity of context; protection of yajña is itself a dharmic act ensuring offerings reach the gods without obstruction.", "etymology_highlights": "arādhas = a-rādh(‘not worshipping/not pleasing’); makha = yajña; vacaḥ = stotra/śastra-vāk; śvāna = upadrava-kartṛ (obstructor) by lakṣaṇā." }
