udgātṛ chanter priest (udgātṛ)
The priest who chants the Saman. Named exactly once in the four Samhitas, and in a simile: at RV 2.43.2 a bird is told "udgāteva śakune sāma gāyasi", "thou like the chanter-priest chantest the Sama". The Rigveda's manual annotation confirms the form as udgātár-, nominative singular masculine. The office does not occur in the Samaveda, whose chant it exists to sing.

A null is not a zero: it means this object was not reached in that corpus by the lexical, conceptual or ritual predicates counted here. The mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so even a reached corpus is a lower bound.
2 `passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
measured `co_mentioned` is CO-OCCURRENCE WITHIN A MANTRA and nothing more. It carries no causal, prescriptive or pharmacological claim: a plant named beside an affliction is named beside it, and apamarga is named against sorcery rather than against a cough. `neighbours` holds the curated edges, which are a different strength of claim; the two are separate fields so they cannot be read as one.
