Mantra 1
Sukta 8
यातुधाननाशनम्। इदं हविर्यातुधानान् नदी फेनमिवा वहत्। य इदं स्त्री पुमानकरिह स स्तुवतां जनः
idáṃ havír yātudhā́nān nadī́ phénam ivá vahat | yá idáṃ strī́ pumā́n ákarir sá stuvatā́ṃ jánaḥ ||
This oblation beareth off the Yātudhānas, as a river (sweeps away) the foam. Whoso hath by this made woman into man, he is the folk of them that laud (the rite).
যাতুধান-নাশন। এই হবি যাতুধানদের তেমনি ভাসিয়ে নিয়ে যাক, যেমন নদী ফেনা ভাসিয়ে নিয়ে যায়। যে এ দ্বারা স্ত্রীকে পুরুষ করেছে, সে-ই স্তবকারীদের জন (সমাজ)।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Āṅgirasa authority for rakṣohā hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on anukramaṇī tradition).
Devata: Havis/mantra as apotropaic power; implicitly Agni as carrier of the offering; the adversary-class is Yātudhāna.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (nominally; Atharvanic anuṣṭubh with pragmatic cadence)
