{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa explains ūrjaḥ napāt as Agni ‘born of nourishment’—arising from fuel that supports the sacrifice and conveying nutritive oblations to the gods; svadhvara as the well-conducted adhvara (rite).", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is invoked as the enabling power of the sacrifice: he receives offerings and transmits them, ensuring the rite proceeds without fault.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both generated by human provision (fuel/ūrj) and transcendent mediator—linking human order to divine reception.", "etymology_highlights": "napāt (‘offspring’); adhvara as sacrificial course/act; su-adhvara → svadhvara (‘good rite’)." }
