Mantra 4
Pavamāna Soma’s flowing power that energizes and perfects the sacrifice
इरज्यन्नग्ने प्रथयस्व जन्तुभिरस्मे रायो अमर्त्य स दर्शतस्य वपुषो वि राजसि पृणक्षि दर्शतं क्रतुम्
irajyannagne prathayasva jantubhirasme rāyo amartya sa darśatasya vapuṣo vi rājasi pṛṇakṣi darśataṃ kratum
irajyannagne pratha1yasva jantubhirasme rāyo amartya sa darśa2tasya vapuṣo vi rājasi pṛṇakṣi darśa3taṃ kratum
Shining, Agni, spread thyself among men; grant unto us riches, O immortal: thou, of lovely form, art resplendent, and thou fillest (perfectest) the fair rite.

{ "prastava": null, "udgitha": null, "pratihara": null, "upadrava": null, "nidhana": null, "structure_notes": "Five-part sāman segmentation will typically place the main semantic ‘ask’ in udgītha and the ‘completion’ phrase near upadrava/nidhana for cadential emphasis (exact gāna needed).", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ (prastāva), Udgātṛ (udgītha/upadrava), Pratihartṛ (pratihāra), chorus (nidhana)." }
{ "gloss_summary": "kratu glossed as yajña/adhvara and also as the rite’s ordering intelligence; ‘filling the kratu’ = completing and making it efficacious through Agni’s presence.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni’s radiance among men marks the rite as successful; he grants wealth and perfects the sacrificial performance.", "theological_insight": "Agni is both the visible sign (darśata) and the operative intelligence (kratu) of sacrifice—beauty and efficacy converge.", "etymology_highlights": "kratu from √kṛ ‘to do/make’ → ‘doing-power/plan’; pṛṇakṣi from √pṝ ‘to fill/fulfill’ indicating completion." }
