Mantra 23
Sukta 10
सर्वे गर्भादवेपन्त जायमानादसूस्वः । ससूव हि तामाहुवशेति ब्रह्मभिः क्लृप्तः स ह्यऽस्या बन्धुः
sárve gárbhād avepanta jā́yamānād asūsvaḥ | sasūvá hí tā́m ā́hur vaśéti bráhmabhiḥ klṛptáḥ sá hy asyā́ bandháḥ ||
All trembled at her birth from the womb, O vital Breaths. For she was brought forth; and men call her ‘Vaśā’: by the brahmans is he made ready—he is, in sooth, her kinsman-link.
हे प्राणो, गर्भ से उसके जन्म लेते ही सब काँप उठे। क्योंकि वह प्रसूता हुई; और लोग उसे ‘वशा’ कहते हैं। ब्रह्मनों द्वारा वही (यजमान/आह्वाता) उसके लिए सिद्ध किया जाता है—वही सचमुच उसका बन्धु-सम्बन्ध है।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (per Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Vaśā (as emergent śakti); Asū (vital breaths) as addressed powers.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
