Mantra 5
Sukta 135
पत्नी यदृश्यते पत्नी यक्ष्यमाणा जरितरोऽथामो दैव। होता विष्टीमेन जरितरोऽथामो दैव
patnī́ yád ṛ́śyate patnī́ yákṣyamāṇā jaritaro ’thā́mo daivá | hotā́ viṣṭīméná jaritaro ’thā́mo daivá
When the Wife is seen—when the Wife, about to sacrifice—O Singer, then is the divine might. The Hotṛ, with ordered attendance—O Singer, then is the divine might.
حين تُرى الزوجة—حين تكون الزوجة مُقبلةً على إقامة اليَجْنَة (yajña)—يا أيها المُنشد (jaritar)، فهناك تتجلّى القوّة الإلهية. والـهوتَر (Hotṛ)، مع انتظام الحضور وترتيبهم—يا أيها المُنشد—فهناك تتجلّى القوّة الإلهية.
Rishi: RV-derived attribution (uncertain here without anukramaṇī confirmation).
Devata: Daiva ‘power’ as an abstract efficacy; secondarily the sacrificial office itself.
Chandas: RV-style; refrain structure suggests a strophic liturgical piece.
