Rig Veda 10.124.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 124, Mantra 3

Sukta 10.124

Rishi: Traditionally connected with themes of Indra–Varuṇa/Asura transition in RV 10.124; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies in later indices (needs edition-specific confirmation).

Devata: Varuṇa/Asura (sovereign of Ṛta) with transitional focus toward Indra in the surrounding verses.

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 10.124; verify pada syllable-count in a critical metrical scan).

إذ أرى ضيفَ غيرِه، والحركةَ ذاتَ الجناحين الواسعين، أقيسُ كثيرًا من الدَّهامَن—مساكنَ Ṛta. أُنشِدُ للأبِ، للأسورا، خيرًا مُسعِدًا؛ ومن غيرِ اللائقِ باليَجْنَ أتحوّلُ إلى النصيبِ الحقّ اليَجْنِيّا.
