Rig Veda 3.53.3: Mandala 3, Sukta 53, Mantra 3

Sukta 3.53

Rishi: Viśvāmitra (Kauśika)
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 3.53; this verse conforms to common Triṣṭubh cadence)

शंसावाध्वर्यो प्रति मे गृणीहीन्द्राय वाहः कृणवाव जुष्टम् । एदं बर्हिर्यजमानस्य सीदाथा च भूदुक्थमिन्द्राय शस्तम् ॥

śaṃsā́vādhvaryó práti me gṛṇīhí indrā́ya vā́haḥ kṛṇavāva júṣṭam | édaṃ barhír yajamānasya sī́dā́thā ca bhūd ukthám indrā́ya śastám ||

Ô Adhvaryu, réponds à mon appel et prononce la parole d’assentiment : nous rendrons le chemin de l’offrande, l’effusion (vāhaḥ), agréable et chère à Indra. Assieds-toi sur cette litière sacrée (barhis) du sacrifiant ; alors que l’énoncé inspiré devienne une louange vraie, façonnée pour Indra.
