Mantra 24
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the Yājñavalkya transmission of the Vājasaneyins (specific ṛṣi attribution for this mantra is not fixed in common anukramaṇī usage).
Devata: Tvaṣṭṛ (primary); auspicious well-being (śiva) as invoked quality.
Chandas: Mixed/irregular prose-verse (yajus-style); not a strict ṛgvedic metre in liturgical deployment.
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
सं वर्च॑सा॒ पय॑सा॒ सं त॒नूभि॒रग॑न्महि॒ मन॑सा॒ सᳪ शि॒वेन॑ । त्वष्टा॑ सु॒दत्रो॒ विद॑धातु॒ रायोऽनु॑मार्ष्टु त॒न्वो यद्विलि॑ष्टम्
Transliteration
saṃ várcasā páyasā saṃ tanū́bhir ágannmahi mánasā saṃ śivéna | tváṣṭā sudátró vídadhātu rā́yo ’nú mārṣṭu tanvò yád vilíṣṭam ||
Translation
Avec l’éclat, avec le lait, avec nos corps nous nous sommes réunis ; par l’esprit, en concorde avec la puissance propice (śiva). Que Tvaṣṭṛ, le généreux dispensateur, nous ordonne les richesses selon l’ordre juste ; qu’il efface de notre personne tout ce qui s’attache comme une souillure, comme une tache.
