Mantra 2
Pavamāna Soma’s pressing, filtration, and swift purifying flow, paired with Indra’s guidance and protection for the rite

ขอหมู่พวกอันไม่รู้จักและยากจะปราบมิได้เข้ารุกรานเรา; ขอความชั่วอัปมงคลอย่าได้เหยียบย่ำเรา; โอ้วีรบุรุษ เมื่อมีท่านเคียงข้าง ขอให้เราก้าวพ้นทางลาดชันทั้งหลาย และข้ามพ้นสายน้ำอันไหลเนืองนิตย์.

{ "prastava": "o vā / hā-i (traditional Aindra prastāva stobha framework; exact stobhas not supplied)", "udgitha": "mā no ajñātā vṛjanā durādhyo… (expanded with sāman elongations in gāna form)", "pratihara": "ho-i / hā-u response (typical responsorial closure; exact not supplied)", "upadrava": "tvayā vayaṃ pravataḥ… (often carried by udgātṛ with renewed rise)", "nidhana": "…ati śūra tarāmasi (cadential settling; joined by all)", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma practice typically distributes text so the ‘petition’ sits in udgītha and the ‘resolution/crossing’ lands in upadrava+nidhana; actual segmentation depends on the specific gāna-pāṭha.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘vṛjanāḥ’ are hostile assemblages; ‘aśivāsaḥ’ are inauspicious calamities; with Indra the sacrificer crosses ‘pravataḥ’ and ‘apaḥ’—literal waters or figurative obstacles.", "ritual_interpretation": "Prayer for the yajamāna’s protection and the uninterrupted movement of the Soma rite through its potentially ‘downward’ turns (risks, faults, rivals).", "theological_insight": "Indra’s guardianship is both external (foes) and internal (impediments); crossing waters signifies transcending obstruction by divine support.", "etymology_highlights": "Notes on vṛjana as ‘group/host’; aśiva as ‘non-auspicious’; apaḥ as ‘waters/obstacles’ (arthāntara)." }
