{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude establishing the ‘foremost’ placement; exact not provided.", "udgitha": "Main proclamation of epithets culminating in ‘purohitaḥ’.", "pratihara": "Responsive reinforcement around ‘tam īmahe’.", "upadrava": "After-song expansion into ‘mahā-gayam’.", "nidhana": "Final collective cadence sealing praise.", "structure_notes": "This verse naturally divides into (1) identity/titles, (2) worship-act, (3) praise-closure—mapping well onto udgītha → pratihāra → nidhana functions.", "singer_assignments": "Standard three-priest distribution with collective nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is called ṛṣi because he ‘sees’/knows the rite; pavamāna because he becomes bright and removes faults; purohita because he is placed foremost as officiant; pāñcajanya as ‘for all men/five peoples’; therefore he is worshipped as greatly praiseworthy.", "ritual_interpretation": "Affirms Agni’s primacy in yajña and his universality as mediator for all communities participating in sacrifice.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both priest and knowledge: the rite’s intelligence embodied as fire.", "etymology_highlights": "purohita = puraḥ-hita (placed in front); pāñcajanya connected to pañca-jana (five peoples); pavamāna from √pū/√pav (purify/flow clear)." }
