Sukta 5.84
Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
આ સંક્ષિપ્ત અત્રિ સૂક્ત રાત્રિના ગાનોથી સ્તુત થતી ઝડપી, ભ્રમણશીલ શક્તિને સંબોધે છે. તેને હિહિનાતા યુદ્ધઘોડા જેવી રીતે સમૃદ્ધિ અને બળને આગળ ધપાવનારી તરીકે વખાણવામાં આવે છે. આ મંત્ર એક ભાવસભર આવાહનરૂપે કાર્ય કરે છે: ગતિમાન તેજ/વાવાઝોડાની ઊર્જા (અર્જુની નામે અથવા ઉપાધિરૂપે) પ્રગટ થઈ ઉપાસકને ઉત્સાહ, વેગ અને વિજયદાયી સમૃદ્ધિ પ્રદાન કરે—એવી તે “હાક” આપે છે.
Arjunī appears as a name or epithet for a swift, roaming power. From the verse alone, she seems linked to wind/storm-like movement and luminous force, but the exact deity identification needs hymn-level confirmation.
It suggests the praise is performed in the night or in a nocturnal ritual setting. The hymn frames the chant itself as an effective action that calls the roaming power to respond.
It compares the deity’s force to a war-horse surging forward—symbolizing speed, courage, and winning power (vāja). The hymn asks for that same forward-driving energy to manifest for the worshipper.
