Sukta 25
गर्भो अस्योषधीनां गर्भो वनस्पतीनाम्। गर्भो विश्वस्य भूतस्य सो अग्ने गर्भमेह धाः
gárbho así oṣadhī́nāṁ gárbho vanaspátīnā́m | gárbho víśvasya bhū́tasya sá agne gárbham ihá dhāḥ ||
Thou art the embryo of the herbs, the embryo of the forest-trees; the embryo of all that is—so, Agni, set thou the embryo here.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (uncertain without anukramaṇī confirmation)
Devata: Agni (as Garbha, universal generative principle)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification)
