Sukta 10.95

Rishi: Dialogue-frame (RV 10.95); gods as authoritative speakers within the narrative closure.
Devata: Devāḥ (collective gods) speaking; overarching devatā-field: mortality vs. heaven (mṛtyu vs. svar).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable).

इति त्वा देवा इम आहुरैळ यथेमेतद्भवसि मृत्युबन्धुः । प्रजा ते देवान्हविषा यजाति स्वर्ग उ त्वमपि मादयासे ॥

íti tvā devā imá āhur aiḷa yáthāīmetád bhávasi mṛtyú-bandhuḥ | prajā́ te devā́n havíṣā yajāti svàrga u tvám ápi mādayāse ||

So haben diese Götter zu dir gesprochen, o Aiḷa: so wirst du einer, dessen Gefährte der Tod ist, an die Sterblichkeit gebunden. Doch deine Nachkommenschaft wird die Götter mit dem Opfer (havis) verehren; und auch du wirst im lichten Himmel an der göttlichen Wonne teilhaben.
