Rig Veda 10.161.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 161, Mantra 5
Sukta 10.161
Rishi: Late Maṇḍala 10 healing voice; specific r̥ṣi attribution uncertain.
Devata: Implicitly the restoring powers invoked earlier; the mantra functions as a direct address to the patient/seeker.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like brevity in late style; requires strict syllable check.
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
आहार्षं त्वाविदं त्वा पुनरागाः पुनर्नव । सर्वाङ्ग सर्वं ते चक्षुः सर्वमायुश्च तेऽविदम् ॥
Transliteration
āhārṣaṃ tvā́vidaṃ tvā punar ā́gāḥ punar-nava | sarvāṅga sárvaṃ te cákṣuḥ sárvam ā́yuś ca te ’vidaṃ ||
Translation
আমি তোমাকে ফিরিয়ে এনেছি; আমি তোমাকে আবার পেয়েছি। নব হয়ে ফিরে এসো—চিরনব। সর্বাঙ্গ—তোমার সব অঙ্গ পূর্ণ হোক; তোমার সমগ্র দৃষ্টি ফিরে আসুক, এবং তোমার সমগ্র আয়ু (জীবনবল)ও—এই সবই আমি তোমার জন্য পুনরুদ্ধার করেছি।
