{ "gloss_summary": "Agni is the yajña-mukha who conveys oblations. ‘Pavase’ is taken as ‘śuddho bhāsi’—shining in purified form. The boons are longevity, heavenly vigor, and nourishment. ‘Ducchunām’ includes calamities and obstacles (antarāya) to sacrifice.", "ritual_interpretation": "Protects the rite and the sacrificer; ensures uninterrupted performance and prosperity supporting the yajña.", "theological_insight": "Purified fire is both outer ritual flame and inner clarifying power; blessings arise when the mediator is bright and unobstructed.", "etymology_highlights": "pavase from √pū ‘to purify/clarify’; bādhasva from √bādh ‘to repel, press away’; ducchunām as ‘bad fortune/evil’ (duḥ-śuna)." }
