Sukta 4
दे॒वेभ्यो॒ अधि॑ जा॒तोऽसि॒ सोम॑स्यासि॒ सखा॑ हि॒तः । स प्रा॒णाय॑ व्या॒नाय॒ च॑क्षुषे मे अ॒स्मै मृ॑ड
devébhyo ádhi jā́to ’si sómasyāsi sákhā hitáḥ | sá prāṇā́ya vyānā́ya cákṣuṣe me asmái mṛ́ḍ
From the Gods above thou wast begotten; thou art of Soma, his well-appointed friend. For my prāṇa and my vyāna, for mine eye-sight—be gracious unto this man here.
Von den Göttern droben bist du geboren; du bist des Soma Freund, wohlbestellt und treu. Für meinen prāṇa und meinen vyāna, für mein Augenlicht—sei diesem Menschen hier gnädig.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Āṅgirasa headings for bhaiṣajya hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Kuṣṭha (as personified healing plant) allied with Soma; also implicitly the Devas as source.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in AV healing verses; metrical exactness may be affected by Saṃhitā sandhi).
Primary: karuna
Secondary: shanta
