Mantra 11

Rishi: Traditionally assigned within the Agni-hymn lineage (Āṅgirasa/Agneya complex); in Śukla-Yajurveda praxis often treated as ‘mantra of the Adhvaryu’ without a single r̥ṣi emphasis.

Devata: Agni (as protector/warder-off of hostility).

Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed, as typical of many Agni-protective formulas in ritual collections).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्रति॒ स्पशो॒ वि सृ॑ज॒ तूर्णि॑तमो॒ भवा॑ पा॒युर्वि॒शो अ॒स्या अद॑ब्धः । यो नो॑ दू॒रे अ॒घश॑ᳪसो॒ यो अन्त्यग्ने॒ मा कि॑ष्टे॒ व्यथि॒रा द॑धर्षीत्

Transliteration

práti spaśó ví sṛja tū́rṇitamo bhavā pāyúrvíśo asyā́ adabdhaḥ | yó no dūré aghaśáṃso yó ánty agne mā́ kíṣṭe vyáthirā́ dadharṣīt

Translation

اطرد الجواسيس وبدِّدهم؛ وكن الأسرع. كن حامياً غيرَ مخدوعٍ لهذا الشعب. من يضمر لنا الشرَّ من بعيد، أو من كان قريباً، يا أغني—فلا يجرؤ أحدٌ ممن يريد زعزعتنا أن يعتدي عليك.
