Rig Veda 1.106.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 106, Mantra 3

Sukta 1.106

Rishi: Likely Kutsa Āṅgirasa (traditional for RV 1.106) or associated seer-family in anukramaṇī; requires confirmation by specific śākha anukramaṇī
Devata: Vasus (with invocation of Pitṛs and a Devī described as devaputrī, ṛtāvṛdhā)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable for RV 1.106.1 by syllable length; needs metrical verification)

अवन्तु नः पितरः सुप्रवाचना उत देवी देवपुत्रे ऋतावृधा । रथं न दुर्गाद्वसवः सुदानवो विश्वस्मान्नो अंहसो निष्पिपर्तन ॥

avántu naḥ pitáraḥ supravācanā utá devī deváputre ṛtāvṛ́dhā | ráthaṃ na durgā́d vasavaḥ sudānavo víśvasmān no áṃhaso níṣ pipartana ||

فليُعِنّا الآباءُ (الپِتَرَة)، حَسَنوُ القول؛ ولتُعِنّا الإلهةُ، ابنةُ الآلهة، مُنمِّيةُ Ṛta (النظام/الحقّ الكوني). يا فاسُو، يا أهل العطاء السخيّ، كما تُسحَب العربة من ممرٍّ عسير، اسحبونا من كلِّ انقباضٍ ومن كلِّ خطأٍ باطنيّ.
