{ "prastava": "(Typical) stobha-led prelude such as ‘hā u ā’ or ‘o’ expansions before the first lexical segment (exact form depends on the gāna).", "udgitha": "Main lexical body beginning with ‘viśvebhir agne…’ elongated on key vocatives and imperatives.", "pratihara": "Responsive closure on the first major cadence (often after ‘vacaḥ’/segment boundary).", "upadrava": "After-song repetition/extension emphasizing ‘sahasā’ and the epithet ‘yaho’.", "nidhana": "Final settling tone with brief stobha/lengthening to seal the invocation.", "structure_notes": "Without the specific Sāman (gāna) mapping, only the standard fivefold architecture can be stated; Kauthuma practice typically places vocatives in udgītha with lengthening.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘All fires’ denotes Agni’s manifold manifestations—ritual fires (gārhapatya, āhavanīya, dakṣiṇa) together with the divine Agni—invited to this yajña and this vacas.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is invoked as present Hotṛ and as the carrier who makes offerings reach the gods; the verse functions as a liturgical ‘bringing-near’ (āhvāna) of the fire-power.", "theological_insight": "Agni is one yet many in operation; divine presence is accessed through correctly established ritual multiplicity unified by one deity.", "etymology_highlights": "Notes on ‘agnibhiḥ’ as plural of functions; ‘sahasā’ as power/tapas enabling conveyance and efficacy." }
