Mantra 3

Pavamana (standard setting; specific gāna-name not stated in input)

{ "prastava": "o… (slower, lengthened to open space)", "udgitha": "pavasva soma mahān samudraḥ…", "pratihara": "pitā devānām… (response highlights generativity)", "upadrava": "viśvābhi dhāma (after-song pervasion)", "nidhana": "dhāma (sustained closure)", "structure_notes": "Ideal for expansive nidhana: ‘dhāma’ can be prolonged to ‘fill’ the ritual space.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens with spacious prelude; Udgātṛ sustains long arcs; Pratihartṛ keeps clarity of ‘pitā’; all join for a long, unified nidhana." }

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa interprets ‘samudra’ as an upamā for Soma’s abundance in the rite; ‘pitā devānām’ because Soma nourishes the gods as their oblation; ‘dhāma’ as divine stations/abodes.", "ritual_interpretation": "The mantra magnifies Soma’s ritual status: abundant, all-pervading, fit to satisfy all devatās invoked in the session.", "theological_insight": "Soma is presented as a generative principle: devas are ‘strengthened into divinity’ through Soma’s nourishment—hence ‘father’.", "etymology_highlights": "samudra = ‘together-waters’; dhāman = abode/seat/brightness; pavasva from √pū, purification as consecration." }
