{ "prastava": "(stobha-led opening, typically with o/ho/hā expansions before the text)", "udgitha": "pra va indrāya mādanaṃ haryaśvāya gāyata", "pratihara": "sakhāyaḥ (responsive return/answering segment)", "upadrava": "soma-pāvne (extended with melodic prolongations)", "nidhana": "(cadential nidhana syllables; often with elongated vowel/stobha closure)", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma practice commonly expands the imperative opening into a longer udgītha; the vocative/collective ‘sakhāyaḥ’ is apt for pratihāra-style response.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "mādanaṃ = stotraṃ madakaram, the praise that exhilarates Indra through Soma; somapāvne = Indra as chiefly entitled to Soma-drinking; sakhāyaḥ = associated companions addressed to sing.", "ritual_interpretation": "The chant functions as an invitation and stimulation (madana) so Indra accepts the Soma offering.", "theological_insight": "Divinity is ‘moved’ (not coerced) by rightly offered Soma and praise; sound is a legitimate oblation that activates divine presence.", "etymology_highlights": "mādana (√mad) ‘to exhilarate’; pāvna/pāvne from √pā ‘to drink’—Indra defined by Soma-assimilation." }
