他被遣发而出，迅疾如在战车道上竞驰；由虔敬之思（dhī）——那最先的颂歌、最初的慧思（manīṣā）——所推动。十位姊妹（daśa svasāraḥ），当他被安置于羊毛（avī）之上时，便洁净那承载者（vahni），使之清澈地趋向诸处所（sadana）。

{ "prastava": "(stobha prelude; gāna-dependent)", "udgitha": "asarji vakvā rathye yathājau …", "pratihara": "(response often tightening cadence after the ‘race’ imagery)", "upadrava": "daśa svasāro adhi sāno avye …", "nidhana": "(closing nidhana syllables)", "structure_notes": "A common sāman strategy is to emphasize the ‘two scenes’: launch (first half) and filtration (second half), with a clear musical pivot at ‘daśa svasāraḥ’.", "singer_assignments": "Standard: Prastotṛ, Udgātṛ, Pratihartṛ; nidhana together." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Soma is dispatched swiftly like a racer by inspired hymn/thought; ‘avya’ is the woolen strainer; ‘ten sisters’ are the ten fingers that cleanse; ‘vahni’ is the oblation-carrier (Soma as carrier) moving toward the ritual stations.", "ritual_interpretation": "Explicitly tied to filtration procedure: laying Soma on wool, cleansing by fingers, directing to vessels/offering places.", "theological_insight": "Technique and devotion are inseparable: the gods are approached through purified substance and purified action.", "etymology_highlights": "āvī from ‘avi’ (sheep) → wool; mṛj ‘to wipe/polish’; vahni ‘carrier’ (also Agni as carrier by function)." }
