Fierce, the divine Archer from the mid-region of the northern quarters stands close in attendance upon him; neither Śarva, nor Bhava, nor Īśāna reaches him.
شديدٌ، ذلكَ الرامي الإلهي من الإقليمِ الأوسطِ من الجهاتِ الشمالية يقفُ ملازماً له عن قرب؛ فلا يبلُغُهُ لا Śarva ولا Bhava ولا Īśāna.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Vrātya-complex attribution (AV 15).
Devata: Divine Iṣvāsa (archer-guardian) and implicitly Rudra’s epithets as adversarial powers.
Chandas: Atharvanic mixed/prose-like cadence.
