Sukta 7
स्कम्भे लोकाः स्कम्भे तपः स्कम्भेऽध्यृतमाहितम्। स्कम्भ त्वा वेद प्रत्यक्षमिन्द्रे सर्वं समाहितम्
skambhé lokā́ḥ skambhé tápaḥ skambhé ’dhy ṛtám ā́hitam | skambhá tvā veda pratyákṣam índre sárvaṁ samā́hitam ||
In Skambha are the worlds; in Skambha is holy heat; in Skambha is Ṛta set and firmly laid. Skambha knows thee face to face: in Indra is all this wholly gathered and composed.
Rishi: Skambha-hymn tradition
Devata: Skambha; Indra as manifest totality
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
