Rig Veda 8.53.4 — Mandala 8, Sukta 53, Mantra 4
Sukta 8.53
Rishi: Kaṇva (Kāṇva tradition)
Devata: Indra (implicit addressee across RV 8.53; reinforced by nearby Hari-vaḥ ‘O thou of the tawny steeds’ in 8.53.8)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; 8.53 frequently Triṣṭubh in Indra hymns, though confirmation requires full metrical count)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
विश्वा द्वेषांसि जहि चाव चा कृधि विश्वे सन्वन्त्वा वसु । शीष्टेषु चित्ते मदिरासो अंशवो यत्रा सोमस्य तृम्पसि ॥
Transliteration
viśvā́ dveṣā́ṃsi jahí cā́va cā́ kṛdhi víśve sanvántvā́ vásu | śī́ṣṭeṣu citté madirā́so aṃśávo yátrā́ sómasya tṛ́mpasi ||
Translation
اقتلْ كلَّ الحركاتِ المعادية واطرحْها إلى أسفل وابعِدْها؛ ولتأتِ إلينا كلُّ الثرواتِ المضيئة. وحتى في البقايا، لتكن لك الأشعّةُ المُسكِرة—هناك حيث ترتوي من السُّوما حتى الامتلاء، لذّةَ الوعي الخالد.
