uṣo adyéha gomatyaśvāvati vibhāvari revádasme vyùccha sūnṛtā́vatī
Hỡi Uṣas, hôm nay xin đến đây, giàu đàn bò, giàu ngựa; hỡi Vibhāvarī rạng chiếu khắp, Đấng sung túc và đáng tán dương, xin bừng sáng cho nghi lễ của chúng con, được trang bị sūnṛtā (lời lành cát tường).

{ "prastava": "(Stobha-led prelude; often ‘hā/ho/i’ expansions before the first pada in Uṣas selections—exact pada mapping depends on the chosen gāna.)", "udgitha": "Main text-bearing stretch emphasizing uṣo…vibhāvari…vyuccha.", "pratihara": "Short responsive turn stabilizing the cadence after the central epithet cluster.", "upadrava": "After-song reiteration/extension around sūnṛtāvatī as the efficacy-seal.", "nidhana": "Final settling phrase ending on a stable svara with collective closure.", "structure_notes": "Kauthuma practice typically distributes the semantic load to the udgītha while prastāva/pratihāra carry stobha and cadential control; exact segmentation is gāna-specific.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all three: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "gomatī/aśvavatī: bestower of paśu-rūpa rayi (sacrificial wealth). vibhāvarī: widely shining. sūnṛtā: auspicious, truth-bearing speech that ensures successful performance.", "ritual_interpretation": "Uṣas is invoked for prātaḥ-savana readiness; her advent makes the rite timely and prosperous for the yajamāna.", "theological_insight": "Dawn’s gift is not only light but ṛta-aligned vāk; when speech is ‘sūnṛtā,’ sacrifice attains siddhi.", "etymology_highlights": "sū-nṛtā: ‘good/true’ (su) + ‘truth/rightness’ (nṛtā/ṛta-related); vibhāvarī from vi-√bhā (‘shine forth, pervade with light’)." }
