Rig Veda 1.190.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 190, Mantra 3

Sukta 1.190

Devata: Bṛhaspati
Chandas: Jagatī or Triṣṭubh (uncertain here; not recomputed and the transmitted line-length suggests possible Jagatī tendencies)

उपस्तुतिं नमस उद्यतिं च श्लोकं यंसत्सवितेव प्र बाहू । अस्य क्रत्वाहन्यो यो अस्ति मृगो न भीमो अरक्षसस्तुविष्मान् ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.190.3

upástutiṃ námasa údyatiṃ ca ślókaṃ yaṃsat savitéva prá bāhū́ | asyá kratvā́hanyò yó ásti mṛgó na bhīmó arákṣasaḥ túviṣmān ||

Er hebt Lobpreis und Verneigung empor und streckt den Hymnus aus, wie Savitṛ seine Arme ausbreitet. Durch seinen Willen ist er die unbezwingbare Tageskraft; wie ein schreckliches Tier für die feindliche Finsternis — gewaltig und ohne Bedarf an Bewachung.
