Sukta 5.47

Devata: Ambiguous/poetic: a feminine power (often read as Uṣas or a maternal cosmic principle) and the Pitṛs; hymn moves into ancestral/cosmic imagery
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm in critical edition)

She yokes herself and moves from the heaven of light, speaking; the great Mother awakens her daughter. The young maiden of inspired thought, doing reverence, calls the Fathers to their seat—summoning the ancestral powers to establish the rite within us.
