{ "prastava": "o", "udgitha": "pari svānāsaḥ indavaḥ madāya barhaṇā girā", "pratihara": "hau", "upadrava": "madhoḥ arṣanti dhārayā", "nidhana": "ā", "structure_notes": "Additional stobha (hāyi) can be inserted as a ‘circling’ flourish; nidhana ‘ā’ often held to taste, evoking lingering sweetness.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ: prastāva; Udgātṛ: udgītha + upadrava; Pratihartṛ: pratihāra; all: nidhana." }
{ "gloss_summary": "‘girā’ is the operative liturgical accompaniment: the voice/hymn is a co-cause of efficacy; ‘barhaṇā’ denotes increase of divine strength (notably Indra’s) through Soma; drops flow sweetly in a stream for exhilaration.", "ritual_interpretation": "Sung during flowing/filtration: the hymn accompanies and empowers the stream, ensuring it becomes strengthening and fit for offering.", "theological_insight": "Sound is sacrament: the gods are strengthened not only by substance but by correctly voiced praise; sweetness marks successful sanctification.", "etymology_highlights": "svānāsa from √svan ‘to sound’; barhaṇā from √bṛh ‘to increase’; madhu ‘sweet/honey’ as blissful potency." }
