Mantra 1
Agni’s precedence as Hotṛ and the energizing flow of Soma as the effective force of yajña
साकमुक्षो मर्जयन्त स्वसारो दश धीरस्य धीतयो धनुत्रीः हरिः पर्यद्रवज्जाः सूर्यस्य द्रोणं ननक्षे अत्यो न वाजी
sākamukṣo marjayanta svasāro daśa dhīrasya dhītayo dhanutrīḥ hariḥ paryadravajjāḥ sūryasya droṇaṃ nanakṣe atyo na vājī

Soma mạnh mẽ được tẩy sạch cùng nhau; mười chị em—những hành tác được dẫn dắt khéo của bậc hiền trí, nhanh như kẻ mang cung—làm Người tinh khiết. Dòng nước ép vàng nâu chạy vòng quanh, chạm đến bình của Sūrya, như tuấn mã lanh lẹ, kẻ đoạt phần thưởng.

{ "prastava": "(Pavamāna prastāvas often begin with o/ho/i and long ā; exact not specified)", "udgitha": "sākamukṣo marjayanta svasāro daśa dhīrasya dhītayo dhanutrīḥ", "pratihara": "hariḥ paryadravajjāḥ", "upadrava": "sūryasya droṇaṃ nanakṣe", "nidhana": "atyo na vājī (cadential elongation on vājī)", "structure_notes": "Semantic ‘motion’ segments map well to sāman structure: purification (udgītha) → circulation (pratihāra) → arrival (upadrava) → victorious cadence (nidhana).", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ opens; Udgātṛ sustains long udgītha and upadrava; Pratihartṛ marks the ‘turn’ with response; all seal the victorious nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘Ten sisters’ are purifying waters/streams or the ten fingers/operations of straining; Soma runs and reaches the bright droṇa called ‘Sūrya’s’ due to its lustre; like a swift prize-winning horse.", "ritual_interpretation": "Technical reading: describes Soma-straining and collection into the droṇa; dhītayaḥ are the wise procedures of officiants in pressing/filtration.", "theological_insight": "Purified Soma becomes fit for gods—ritual purity mirrors inner luminosity; Sūrya symbolizes clarified brilliance of the offering.", "etymology_highlights": "pavamāna from √pū ‘to purify’; droṇa as trough/vat; hari as tawny/bright." }
