Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 1, Mantra 6
Rishi: Yājñavalkya (traditional White Yajurveda attribution; specific r̥ṣi assignment for this short yoking-formula is not consistently fixed in ancillary lists).
Devata: Karman / Yajña (functional deity of the act), with dual reference (‘vām’) implying a paired implement or paired divine recipients depending on ritual setting.
Chandas: Yajus (prose formula; not a fixed metrical chandas).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
कस्त्वा॑ युनक्ति॒ स त्वा॑ युनक्ति॒ कस्मै॑ त्वा युनक्ति॒ तस्मै॑ त्वा युनक्ति । कर्म॑णे वां॒ वेषा॑य वाम्
Transliteration
kás tvā yúnakti sá tvā yúnakti kásmai tvā yúnakti tásmai tvā yúnakti | kármaṇe vāṃ véṣāya vām
Translation
কে তোমাকে যুক্ত করে? সেই-ই তোমাকে যুক্ত করে। কার জন্য সে তোমাকে যুক্ত করে? তারই জন্য সে তোমাকে যুক্ত করে। কর্মের জন্য—তোমরা উভয়ের জন্য; নির্ধারিত সেবার (বেষা) জন্য—তোমরা উভয়ের জন্য।
