Up, stand ye forth; cross onward, comrades: this rocky river here is streaming. Here leave behind what things were inauspicious; unto auspicious, safe abodes may we come up and over, unto the prizes.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition; specific r̥ṣi varies by anukramaṇī.
Devata: Auspiciousness (Śiva) as quality; the river/limen as operative locus.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (edition-dependent).
