Rig Veda 5.87.9Mandala 5, Sukta 87, Mantra 9

Sukta 5.87

Rishi: Atri Bhāuma (Atri’s lineage) (traditional ascription for RV 5.87)

गन्ता नो यज्ञं यज्ञियाः सुशमि श्रोता हवमरक्ष एवयामरुत् । ज्येष्ठासो न पर्वतासो व्योमनि यूयं तस्य प्रचेतसः स्यात दुर्धर्तवो निदः ॥

gántā no yajñáṃ yajñiyāḥ suśámi śrótā hávam arákṣa évayā́marut | jyéṣṭhāso ná párvatāso vyómani yūyáṃ tásya pracetasaḥ syāta durdhártavo nidáḥ ||

Kommt zu unserem Opfer, ihr Opferwürdigen; in heilsamer Ruhe hört unseren Ruf und behütet ihn, o Maruts, die vorwärtsdrängend ziehen. Wie ältere Berge im weiten Himmel seid ihr die Einsichtigen in jenes (Wahre); mögt ihr dem feindlichen Geschrei schwer zu fassen sein — unangreifbar gegen die Gewalt.
