Mantra 21
Sukta 3
यथा यशः सोमपीथे मधुपर्के यथा यशः । एवा मे वरणो मणिः कीर्तिं भूतिं नि यच्छतु तेजसा मा समुक्षतु यशसा समनक्तु मा
yáthā yáśaḥ soma-pīthé madhu-párke yáthā yáśaḥ | evā́ me varuṇó maṇíḥ kīrtíṃ bhūtíṃ ní yacchatu téjasā mā sáṃ ukṣatu yáśasā sáṃ anaktu mā
As glory is at the Soma-drinking, as at the madhuparka (honour-feast) is glory, so may the Varuṇa-amulet for me fasten firm fame and thriving; with splendour may it bedew me, with glory may it anoint me.
Como la gloria está en la libación de Soma, como en el madhuparka (banquete de honor) está la gloria, así que para mí el amuleto de Varuṇa afiance firmemente fama y prosperidad; con esplendor que me rocíe, con gloria que me unja.
Rishi: Atharvanic transmission (Śaunaka)
Devata: Varuṇa (amulet-power), with institutional 'yáśas' as operative focus
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with refrain extension)
