Rig Veda 10.91.13 — Mandala 10, Sukta 91, Mantra 13
Sukta 10.91
Rishi: Traditionally attributed to Agni-related seers in RV 10.91 (exact rishi varies by Anukramaṇī; commonly: Aruṇa Vaitahavya or similar late-maṇḍala attributions—requires śākhā-specific confirmation)
Devata: Agni (as the Ancient One receiving the new hymn; inner Fire/Will that hears and enters the heart)
Chandas: Jagatī (likely for RV 10.91.1 given line length; meter should be confirmed by syllable count in the received text)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
इमां प्रत्नाय सुष्टुतिं नवीयसीं वोचेयमस्मा उशते शृणोतु नः । भूया अन्तरा हृद्यस्य निस्पृशे जायेव पत्य उशती सुवासाः ॥
Transliteration
imā́ṃ pratnā́ya suṣṭutíṃ navī́yasīṃ vocéyam asmai uśaté śṛṇótu naḥ | bhūyā́ antarā hṛdyàsya nispṛ́śe jāyéva pátya uśatī́ suvā́sāḥ ||
Translation
Diese neueste, wohlgefügte Lobrede möchte ich dem Uralten verkünden; möge er, der Begehrende, uns hören. Mehr und mehr möge sie in die innerste Berührung des Herzens eindringen – wie eine Gattin, schön gekleidet und verlangend, die sich ihrem Herrn naht.
