{ "gloss_summary": "Indra has drunk the offered Soma; śipra-yandhasa describes Indra’s firm-lipped nature; sudakṣa and prahoṣin qualify the competent offerer/rite; yavāśira is Soma mixed with barley, offered in a defined sequence.", "ritual_interpretation": "A declaration of acceptance of a particular Soma preparation; establishes the rite’s correctness and Indra’s satisfaction.", "theological_insight": "Divine empowerment follows proper offering; the deity’s ‘drinking’ is both literal (Soma) and functional (granting strength to act for the sacrificer).", "etymology_highlights": "yavāśira = yava (barley) + āśira (mixture); sudakṣa ‘good in skill/fitness’; prahoṣin ‘one who offers forth’." }
