Mantra 3
Sukta 135
यद् गिरामि सं गिरामि समुद्र इव संगिरः । प्राणानमुष्य संगीर्य सं गिरामो अमुं वयम्
yád girā́mi sáṃ girāmi samudrá iva saṃgiráḥ | prāṇā́n amúṣya saṃgī́rya sáṃ girāmo amúṃ vayám ||
What I swallow, that swallow I utterly, as Ocean engulfs: having swallowed up the breaths of that man, we swallow him up entire, even we.
Was ich verschlinge, das verschlinge ich ganz, wie der Ozean alles verschlingt. Nachdem wir die prāṇa-s (Lebensatem) jenes Mannes völlig verschlungen haben, verschlingen wir ihn ganz — ja, wir.
Rishi: Atharvanic (unspecified in input)
Devata: Prāṇa as seized power; ocean as analogy
