Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 2
Aindra praise of Indra as the Soma-empowered remover of obstruction and giver of victory and welfare
योनिष्ट इन्द्र सदने अकारि तमा नृभिः पुरूहूत प्र याहि असो यथा नो ऽविता वृधश्चिद्ददो वसूनि ममदश्च सोमैः

因陀罗啊，你的座位已由众人于圣所备妥；多受呼唤者（purūhūta）啊，请前来——使你成为我们的护佑者；并且，纵然伟大，也赐下财宝；又与苏摩的饮献同欢同醉。

Pavamāna (standard setting; specific tune not stated in input)
{ "prastava": "Stobha prelude establishing ‘seat-making’ calm", "udgitha": "yoniṣṭa indra sadane akāri ... (main invitation and purpose)", "pratihara": "Response reinforcing ‘pra yāhi’/‘avitā’ sentiment", "upadrava": "After-song emphasizing gifts (vasūni) and joy (mamadaḥ)", "nidhana": "Collective final cadence, often gently prolonged to ‘hold’ the deity’s seat", "structure_notes": "In performance, ‘pra yāhi’ is commonly given a clear melodic lift; ‘somaiḥ’ receives a soft landing.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha/upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "yoni/sadana is the ritual seat prepared by men; once prepared, ‘pra yāhi’ is the formal invitation. Indra is asked to become protector, to bestow riches despite his greatness, and to rejoice with Soma draughts.", "ritual_interpretation": "Emphasizes deity-hospitality: preparing āsana in the sadas (often associated with barhis/vedi context) and then inviting the god to partake.", "theological_insight": "Divine generosity is elicited through proper welcome and praise; greatness does not preclude intimacy with the sacrificer.", "etymology_highlights": "yoni glossed as āsana/ādhāra (seat/support); purūhūta as ‘often invoked’." }
