Sukta 5
सं माग्ने वर्चसा सृज सं प्रजया समायुषा । विद्युर्मे अस्य देवा इन्द्रो विद्यात् सह ऋषिभिः
sáṃ mā́gne várcasā sṛja sáṃ prajā́yā sáṃ ā́yuṣā | vidyúr mé asyá devā́ índro vidyā́t sahá ṛ́ṣibhiḥ ||
Unite me, O Agni, with splendour; unite me with offspring, unite me with length of days. Let the Gods take knowledge of this of mine; let Indra know it, together with the Seers.
اجمعني، يا أغني، مع البهاء (varcas)؛ واجمعني مع الذرّية؛ واجمعني مع طول الأيّام. فلتعلمِ الآلهةُ هذا الذي لي؛ وليعلمْه إندرا، مع الرُّؤاة (Ṛṣi).
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn attributed within Atharvan/Angirasic rakṣoghna strata; specific r̥ṣi varies by anukramaṇī tradition).
Devata: Agni (primary); Indra and the Viśve Devāḥ as ratifiers.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with prose-like cadence in the second hemistich)
