Sukta 5.44

Devata: Uncertain (verse contains obscure proper name Krivi; likely within Agni hymn but referencing auxiliary forces/obstacles)

प्र व एते सुयुजो यामन्निष्टये नीचीरमुष्मै यम्य ऋतावृधः । सुयन्तुभिः सर्वशासैरभीशुभिः क्रिविर्नामानि प्रवणे मुषायति ॥

प्र व॑ ए॒ते सु॒युजो॒ याम॑न्नि॒ष्टये॒ नीची॑र॒मुष्मै॑ य॒म्य॑ ऋता॒वृध॑: । सु॒यन्तु॑भिः सर्वशा॒सैर॒भीशु॑भि॒: क्रिवि॒र्नामा॑नि प्रव॒णे मु॑षायति ॥

prá va ete suyújo yā́mann iṣṭáye nī́cīr amúṣmai yamyá ṛtā́vṛdhaḥ | suyántubhiḥ sarvaśā́sair abhī́śubhiḥ krívir nā́māni praváṇe muṣāyati ||

Forward go these well-yoked powers on the journey for the desired fulfilment, bending downward for that one, increasing by the Truth. With guiding reins, with all disciplines, with the controlling rays—Krivi in the slope steals away the names (the fixed labels).
