Mantra 3
Sukta 5
आचार्यऽ उपनयमानो ब्रह्मचारिणं कृणुते गर्भमन्तः । तं रात्रीस्तिस्र उदरे बिभर्ति तं जातं द्रष्टुमभिसंयन्ति देवाः
ācā́rya upanáyamāno brahmacā́riṇaṃ kṛṇute gárbham antáḥ | táṃ rā́trīs tísra udáre bibharti táṃ jātáṃ dráṣṭum abhísáṃyanti devā́ḥ
The Teacher, leading him near, within makes of the Brahmacārin an embryo. Three nights he bears him in the belly; him, when born, the Gods assemble to behold.
المعلّم، إذ يُدنيه إليه، يجعلُ من البراهماچارين جنينًا في الداخل. ثلاثَ ليالٍ يحملُه في البطن؛ فإذا وُلِدَ اجتمعَتِ الآلهةُ لتنظرَ إليه.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (upanayana theology)
Devata: Ācārya/Upanayana as sacral process; Gods as witnesses
Chandas: Mixed; often treated as Triṣṭubh-like cadence in transmission
