From the archetypes to a living instance: bako dālbhyaḥ — Baka, the son of Dalbha — vidāṁ cakāra — "knew it" (the chief prāṇa): and that knowledge made him the udgātṛ of the sacrificers of the sacred Naimiśa forest: sa ha naimiśīyānām udgātā babhūva — of that legendary place where the seers performed sacrifice for ages (there too, tradition says, the Purāṇas would later be recited!).
sa ha smaibhyaḥ kāmān āgāyati — "he sang their desires for them": āgāyati — "he sang them home, he won them by singing": his udgītha brought the community what it asked — rains, offspring, peace. Here is the singer as the Chāndogya wishes him to be: not a virtuoso of the throat but a knower of the prāṇa, whose chanting is effective because the Life he has come to know sings in it. A community with such an udgātṛ has no unanswered prayers.
