{ "prastava": "(typical Pavamāna prastāva with stobha such as ‘hā/ho’ prefixed; exact gāna form not supplied)", "udgitha": "taṃ hinvanti madacyutaṃ hariṃ nadīṣu vājinam", "pratihara": "(responsive reprise of a key segment, often ‘hariṃ nadīṣu’ or ‘indum’)", "upadrava": "indum indrāya", "nidhana": "matsaram", "structure_notes": "Without the specific gāna-padapāṭha, the division is reconstructed by common Sāmavedic practice: main semantic body as udgītha; offering-purpose as upadrava; final ‘matsaram’ as nidhana cadence.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha+upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all (or chorus): nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘nadīṣu’ are the flowing streams of Soma from the filter into vessels; Soma is ‘madacyuta’ because it yields exhilaration; ‘matsara/mada’ is the technical exhilarant needed by Indra.", "ritual_interpretation": "The chant accompanies Soma’s filtration and presentation as Indra’s invigorating offering.", "theological_insight": "Indra’s cosmic victory is supported by ritually purified exhilaration; sacrifice is the channel that converts substance into divine power.", "etymology_highlights": "madacyuta = mada + cyuta (‘exhilaration-exuding’); matsara as the intoxicating draught (not envy in this context)." }
