Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 1
Aindra praise: Indra’s sovereignty, ascent, and soma-empowered heroic force for the sacrificer’s welfare
उद्धेदभि श्रुतामघं वृषभं नर्यापसम् अस्तारमेषि सूर्य
uddhedabhi śrutāmaghaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ naryāpasam astārameṣi sūrya
úd dhehy abhí śrutā́maghaṃ | vṛ́ṣabhaṃ naryā́pasaṃ | astā́ram éṣi sū́rya ||
Hãy nâng lên, hãy mời về đây—đấng nổi danh, rộng ban, con bò đực, bậc hoàn thành những công việc nam nhi. Ngài tiến bước, hỡi Sūrya, như kẻ lật đổ.
ut dhehi abhi śruta-amagham | vṛṣabham naryāpasam | astāram eṣi sūrya ||
Aindra/Saurya transition (generic Sāman setting; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude emphasizing ascent (often with ‘i/ā’ elongations).", "udgitha": "úd dhehy abhí śrutā́maghaṃ…", "pratihara": "vṛ́ṣabhaṃ naryā́pasaṃ…", "upadrava": "astā́ram éṣi…", "nidhana": "…sū́rya (or with ‘sū́rya’ as cadential anchor, depending on gāna redistribution)", "structure_notes": "Solar vocative is often treated as a melodic summit; Kauthuma redistribution may place ‘sūrya’ at a climactic close for resonance.", "singer_assignments": "Standard five-part assignment; nidhana unified for luminous ‘seal’." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Imperatives summon the ‘renowned giver’; ‘bull’ and ‘doer of manly acts’ praise potency; Sūrya is addressed as ‘astāra’—one who casts down foes/obstacles.", "ritual_interpretation": "A rising/summons formula within the rite: call the deity/power to ‘rise’ and preside, removing impediments.", "theological_insight": "Solar presence is both witness and purifier; illumination is portrayed as active overthrow of obstruction, not merely passive shining.", "etymology_highlights": "śruta-amagha ‘whose bounty is famed’; vṛṣabha ‘bull’ as strength; astāra from √as/√stṛ sense ‘to cast down/drive away’ (traditional gloss: obstacle-overthrower)." }
