Mantra 2
Sukta 140
आ नूनमश्विनोर्ऋषि स्तोमं चिकेत वामया । आ सोमं मधुमत्तमं घर्मं सिञ्चादथर्वणि
ā nū́nam aśvínoḥ ṛ́ṣi stómaṃ ciketa vāmáyā | ā sómaṃ mádhu-mattamaṃ gharmáṃ siñcād átharvaṇi
Now, verily, let the seer take knowledge of the Aśvins’ laud; by this means (let it be) for you twain. Hither—Soma, most honeyed—let him pour the gharmá, in the Atharvan’s rite.
Ahora, en verdad, que el vidente reconozca el canto de alabanza de los Aśvins: que así sea para vosotros dos. Aquí que vierta el Soma, el más meloso, y el gharmá, en el rito de Atharvan.
Rishi: Ṛgvedic Aśvin-hymn tradition (Atharvavedic Book 20 is largely Ṛgveda-derived); specific seer not stated in the verse.
Devata: Aśvinau (Nā́satyau)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence in Atharvanic transmission (Book 20 often preserves Ṛgvedic meters; exact metrical identification may vary by pada division).
