Mantra 8

Sukta 10.127

Rishi: Kushika? (traditional attribution for RV 10.127 often varies in recensions); uncertain at verse-level
Devata: Rātri (Night), as a cosmic power and protector
Chandas: unknown (likely Triṣṭubh/Jagatī zone for many RV 10 hymns; needs metrical verification)

उप ते गा इवाकरं वृणीष्व दुहितर्दिवः । रात्रि स्तोमं न जिग्युषे ॥

उप॑ ते॒ गा इ॒वाक॑रं वृणी॒ष्व दु॑हितर्दिवः । रात्रि॒ स्तोमं॒ न जि॒ग्युषे॑ ॥

úpa te gā́ ivá̄karaṁ vṛṇīṣva duhitar divaḥ | rā́tri stómaṁ na jigyúṣe ||

Night, daughter of Heaven, accept this offering I have fashioned for thee, as one brings near the cows (the rays) to their goal; receive our hymn, not as one who has already won and needs nothing, but as the Power that still grants the victory of the seeker.
