Rig Veda 9.112.3: Mandala 9, Sukta 112, Mantra 3

Sukta 9.112

Rishi: Traditionally attributed within Soma-Pavamāna corpus; specific ascription for 9.112 varies by recension/Anukramaṇī (often treated as part of Pavamāna collections rather than a single personal rishi).
Devata: Soma Pavamāna (Indu), with refrain ‘for Indra’ (Indra as recipient/empowered by Soma).
Chandas: Not securely derivable from supplied extract alone; likely a common Pavamāna meter (often Jagatī/Triṣṭubh in Book 9), but requires syllable-count verification.

कारुरहं ततो भिषगुपलप्रक्षिणी नना । नानाधियो वसूयवोऽनु गा इव तस्थिमेन्द्रायेन्दो परि स्रव ॥

kārúr aháṃ tató bhiṣág úpala-prakṣiṇī nanā | nā́nā-dhiyo vasūyávo ’nú gā́ iva tasthiméndrāyéndo pári srava ||

હું વાણીનો કારુ (કવિ/રચયિતા) છું; બીજો વૈદ્ય (ભિષક) બને છે; બીજો પથ્થરના પેષણ-યંત્રે પીસે છે. વિવિધ બુદ્ધિઓવાળા, વસુઓ (સમૃદ્ધિઓ) ઇચ્છનારા અમે, ગાયો/કિરણો જેમ ક્રમબદ્ધ ચાલે તેમ અનુસરીને ઊભા રહીએ છીએ. હે ઇન્દુ (સોમ), ઇન્દ્ર માટે પરિ સ્રવ—ચારે તરફથી વહે અને આગળ વહે.
