Sukta 10.184

Devata

Viṣṇu, Tvaṣṭṛ, Prajāpati, Dhātṛ (collective generative powers)

RV 10.184 es un himno breve pero poderoso de generación, que invoca a varios artífices divinos de la creación para establecer y proteger un embarazo. Pide a Viṣṇu que «prepare el vientre», a Tvaṣṭṛ que modele la forma, a Prajāpati y a Dhātṛ que infundan y coloquen el embrión; y luego llama a Sinīvālī, Sarasvatī y a los Aśvins para asegurar la concepción y llevar al niño hasta el parto a término en el décimo mes.
