Aindra Sāman (generic; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "o (or ho) establishing the melodic base before the declaration", "udgitha": "tvam aṅga pra śuṃsiṣo devaḥ śaviṣṭha", "pratihara": "martyam na tvad anyo maghavan asti marḍitā indra", "upadrava": "bravīmi te", "nidhana": "vacaḥ", "structure_notes": "The semantic climax is ‘na tvad anyo… marḍitā’: ideal for a clear responsorial emphasis. Nidhana on ‘vacaḥ’ is often lengthened to mark ‘hymn-as-offering’.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ prastāva; Udgātṛ udgītha/upadrava; Pratihartṛ pratihāra; all close on nidhana per local tradition." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa takes ‘marḍitā’ as one who makes the worshipper glad/prosperous—protector-bestower. ‘vacaḥ’ is stotra-speech addressed to Indra within the Soma-sacrifice, not ordinary talk.", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse functions as a formal declaration of Indra’s unique capacity to protect the yajamāna; the uttered stotra itself is an offering.", "theological_insight": "Divine protection is accessed through yajña-speech: praise is a ritual act that invokes and stabilizes the deity’s beneficence.", "etymology_highlights": "marḍ- (to be gracious/gladden); śaviṣṭha (superlative of strength/impetus); vacaḥ as consecrated utterance." }
