{ "prastava": "(stobha-led prelude; not specified)", "udgitha": "apibat kadruvaḥ sutaṃ indraḥ sahasra-bāhve", "pratihara": "(response phrase; not specified)", "upadrava": "tatrādadiṣṭa", "nidhana": "pauṃsyaṃ", "structure_notes": "Typical sāman division can place the causal statement in udgītha and the ‘result-word’ (pauṃsyaṃ) as nidhana for emphatic closure; exact Kauthuma gāna-pada requires the specific gāna source.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates prastāva; Udgātṛ carries udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ answers; all join in nidhana to ‘seal’ Indra’s vīrya." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Indra drank the pressed Soma; by that Soma-drinking he manifested pauṃsya—heroic energy.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse validates the yajña’s causal chain: Soma offered and praised becomes Indra’s strength, enabling him to act for the sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "Divine power is shown as responsive to sacramental offering and stotra—Indra’s vīrya is ‘kindled’ by Soma within r̥ta.", "etymology_highlights": "pauṃsya = pumān-bhāva/vīrya; ‘vidhi’ implied: Soma as nimitta (instrumental cause) of Indra’s śakti." }
