Agneya (generic/unspecified in input)
{ "prastava": "(soft stobha prelude; often ‘hā’/‘ā’ sustained to set a womb-like sonic space)", "udgitha": "araṇyor nihito jātavedā garbha iva it-subhṛto garbhiṇībhiḥ", "pratihara": "dive-dive īḍyo", "upadrava": "jāgṛvadbhir haviṣmadbhir manuṣyebhiḥ", "nidhana": "agniḥ", "structure_notes": "The semantic hinge is ‘dive-dive īḍyaḥ’: a natural pratihāra response point. ‘agniḥ’ as nidhana allows a clear final naming with sustained closure.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ sets gentle prelude; Udgātṛ paints the gestation image; Pratihartṛ answers with daily adorability; Udgātṛ completes with vigilant worshippers; all conclude on ‘agniḥ’." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Araṇis are like ‘mothers’ carrying the latent fire; Agni Jātavedas is ‘deposited’ within them like an embryo; ‘jāgṛvadbhiḥ’ highlights ritual vigilance; daily adoration by humans with oblations is enjoined.", "ritual_interpretation": "Points to regular kindling and maintenance of fire; stresses attentiveness of officiants so the rite remains unspoiled.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both hidden and manifest; divinity is ‘born’ through lawful means and sustained daily through worship.", "etymology_highlights": "jātavedas = ‘knower’ (veda) of ‘births/creatures’ (jāta); araṇi as fire-producer; īḍya = ‘to be praised’." }
