{ "prastava": "(typ.) brief stobha prelude", "udgitha": "yā indra bhuja ābharaḥ svarvāṃ asurebhyaḥ", "pratihara": "stotāram it maghavan asya vardhaya", "upadrava": "ye ca tve vṛktabarhiṣaḥ", "nidhana": "final cadence on vṛktabarhiṣaḥ with collective closure", "structure_notes": "Semantic pivot (past deed → present blessing) often aligns with udgītha → pratihāra boundary in performance.", "singer_assignments": "Standard distribution; pratihartṛ emphasizes vardhaya as responsive blessing." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa connects vṛktabarhiṣaḥ with correct yajña preparation (barhis laid for the gods). ‘Succours taken from Asuras’ are Indra’s appropriated powers/wealth redirected to the sacrificer and rite.", "ritual_interpretation": "By recalling Indra’s conquest, the chant claims that conquered resources now legitimately support the yajña; blessing extends to both singer and ritual preparers.", "theological_insight": "Divine victory is restorative: it reorders power from anti-ṛta to ṛta, making protection and prosperity available to the faithful.", "etymology_highlights": "svarvān ‘possessing svar (heavenly light)’; vṛkta-barhis ‘with barhis cut/strewn’; maghavan ‘possessing gifts/boons’." }
