మా గిరః (స్తోత్రాలు) ప్రకాశించే జ్వాలలతో, దర్శనీయుడైన (అగ్ని) యొద్దకు ఇక్కడికి రానివ్వండి. మా యజ్ఞాలు నమస్కారంతో, పురూవసు, పురుప్రశస్త—సంపన్నుడూ బహు-స్తుతుడూ—అతని సమీపానికి మా సహాయార్థం చేరుగాక.

{ "prastava": "‘o… acchā naḥ’ (approach call)", "udgitha": "‘śīraśociṣaṃ giro yantu darśatam’", "pratihara": "Second approach pivot ‘acchā yajñāso namasā’", "upadrava": "‘purūvasuṃ purupraśastam’ (praise intensification)", "nidhana": "‘ūtaye’ (aid) as the cadential landing", "structure_notes": "The twin ‘acchā’ naturally divides into call-and-response halves suitable for udgātṛ group interplay.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates; Udgātṛ carries main approach; Pratihartṛ answers at second ‘acchā’; nidhana in unison to seal the request." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Both hymns (giraḥ) and sacrifices (yajñāsaḥ) are prayed to ‘go/approach’ Agni; ‘darśata’ indicates Agni’s manifest presence on the altar; Agni is rich and much-praised, approached for aid.", "ritual_interpretation": "Coordinates vāc and yajña as twin means of approach; supports the visible, enacted nature of the rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine help (ūti) is mediated through correct approach—reverent speech and properly performed sacrifice.", "etymology_highlights": "darśata from √dṛś ‘to see’—Agni as directly seen; purūvasu ‘many goods’ as abundance granted through Agni." }
