Adhyaya 29 Mantra 49 - Shukla Yajurveda | French | Vedapath

Various Rishis

Mantra 49

Rishi: Traditionally attributed within the royal/protective mantra strata (Anukramaṇī attribution varies; often treated as ‘yājñika’/ritual corpus rather than a single ṛṣi)

Devata: Soma and Aditi (with an initial protective epithet ‘Ṛjīta’ functioning as guardian-invocation)

Chandas: Mixed; pragmatically used as a protective yajus-formula (not strictly metrical like Ṛgvedic verses)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ऋजी॑ते॒ परि॑ वृङ्धि॒ नोऽश्मा॑ भवतु नस्त॒नूः । सोमो॒ अधि॑ ब्रवीतु॒ नोऽदि॑ति॒: शर्म॑ यच्छतु

Transliteration

ṛ́jīte pári vṛṅdhi no’śmā́ bhavatu nas tanū́ḥ | sómo ádhi bravītu no’dítiḥ śárma yacchatu

Translation

Ô Toi qui vas droit, entoure-nous et fortifie-nous ; qu’un rempart de pierre soit la sauvegarde de notre corps. Que Soma parle pour nous ; qu’Aditi nous accorde un abri.
