Dashati 7
Agni as the victorious, wealth-bestowing sacrificial power who destroys impediments and brings prayer’s fruit (offspring, prosperity) to the yajamāna.
Agni (Jātavedas)
Uplifting and forceful—protective victory-oriented praise with a bright (śukra) sacrificial tone.
Ṛṣi not supplied; identification requires concordance with the underlying Ṛgvedic source hymn(s) and the Sāmavedic anukramaṇī. Many Agni/Indra verses in this region commonly trace to established RV families but this dashati cannot be safely assigned without mapping.
Agni Jātavedas, poder sacrificial victorioso, encendido por el himno y la oblación, aplasta a los obstructores y aparta a Vṛtra/los impedimentos, afianzando el rito y otorgando al yajamāna riqueza y descendencia como fruto de la plegaria. En segundo término se invoca a Indra, Śatakratu, Maghavān: fijar el vajra para someter a los adversarios y proteger el éxito del sacrificio; el brahman (palabra sagrada) eficaz culmina en la petición de prajā y prosperidad sostenida.
