Mantra 18
Rishi: Vedic tradition attributes many Indra-Soma verses to seers of the Soma cycle; specific r̥ṣi assignment for VS 34.18 is edition-dependent (often mapped from RV source-hymns).
Devata: Indra (in Soma context)
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh (by RV-source cadence; confirm against the RV original)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
इ॒च्छन्ति॑ त्वा सो॒म्यास॒: सखा॑यः सु॒न्वन्ति॒ सोमं॒ दध॑ति॒ प्रया॑ᳪसि । तिति॑क्षन्ते अ॒भिश॑स्तिं॒ जना॑ना॒मिन्द्र॒ त्वदा कश्च॒न हि प्र॑के॒तः
Transliteration
icchánti tvā somyā́ḥ sakhā́yaḥ sunvánti sómaṃ dádhati práyāṃsi | titíkṣante abhíśastiṃ jánānām índra tvádā́ kaścána hí práketáḥ ||
Translation
সোম-প্রিয় সখারা তোমাকে কামনা করে; তারা সোম নিংড়ায়, এবং হবি-প্রয়াস (অর্ঘ্য) স্থাপন করে। তারা মানুষের অভিশাপ সহ্য করে; হে ইন্দ্র, নিশ্চয়ই তোমার থেকেই প্রকাশ্য শক্তি ও প্রজ্ঞাসম্পন্ন কেউ উদ্ভূত হয়।
