{ "gloss_summary": "hariḥ is Soma by tawny color; hvarāṃsi are impediments/faults that hinder the sacrifice; Soma, purified, goes to the stotṛs and grants vīra (heroic offspring) and yaśas (fame).", "ritual_interpretation": "The verse accompanies the making-fit of Soma through straining; it is directed toward the Sāmaga chanters whose stotra is empowered by purified Soma.", "theological_insight": "Purified Soma is both offering and grace: by removing doṣa it enables the rite to reach its fruit and bestows prosperity and renown.", "etymology_highlights": "hari (tawny, shining); hvara (crookedness/defect → obstacle); pavate (to purify/flow)." }
