Pavamāna Sāman (general class); specific tune name not supplied in input

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude, often soft)", "udgitha": "te sutāso vipaścitaḥ", "pratihara": "śukrā vāyum", "upadrava": "asṛkṣata", "nidhana": "(cadential close may prolong -kṣata with stobha)", "structure_notes": "Text naturally pivots on vāyum as a focal word; in Sāman, that pivot often becomes a melodic apex or sustained note.", "singer_assignments": "Five-part distribution as standard; pratihāra emphasizes vāyum as the ‘answer’ word." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa takes śukra as clarified Soma after filtration; asṛkṣata denotes its directed outflow. Vāyu is the recipient according to ritual order (Vāyu-graha). vipaścit signifies Soma’s discerning/beneficent nature.", "ritual_interpretation": "Aligns the verse with the portioning of Soma to Vāyu early in the sequence; the flow is both physical and liturgical.", "theological_insight": "Soma is intelligent radiance; its ‘movement’ toward Vāyu expresses the rite’s ordered distribution and the cooperation of deities.", "etymology_highlights": "vipaścit—vi+paś ‘to see distinctly’; śukra—bright/clear; sṛj ‘to let flow’ in asṛkṣata." }
