Mantra 2
Sukta 115
अहं प्रत्नेन मन्मना गिरः शुम्भामि कण्ववत्। येनेन्द्रः शुष्ममिद् दधे
aháṁ pratnéna mánmanā gíraḥ śumbhāmi kaṇvávat | yénéndraḥ śúṣmam íd dadhé
With ancient thought I deck and hallow sacred songs, as did the Kanvas—by which Indra hath assumed his very might.
मैं प्राचीन (प्रत्न) मनोभाव से, कण्वों की भाँति, इन पवित्र गिराओं/स्तोत्र-वाणियों को अलंकृत और शुद्ध करता हूँ; उसी से इन्द्र ने अपना पराक्रम (शुष्म) धारण किया है।
Rishi: Kanva-associated voice/tradition (explicitly invoked by ‘kaṇvavat’)
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh/Triṣṭubh mixture per RV source; requires metrical verification against RV original.
