Mantra 3
Sukta 140
आ नूनं रघुवर्तनिं रथं तिष्ठाथो अश्विना । आ वां स्तोमा इमे मम नभो न चुच्यवीरत
ā nū́naṃ raghu-vártanīṃ ráthaṃ tiṣṭhātho aśvinā | ā vāṃ stómā imé máma nábho ná cucyavīrat
Now, O Aśvins, mount the swift-revolving car. Hither to you have these my praises rolled on, like a cloud (that swells and drives).
अब, हे अश्विनो, शीघ्र-घूमने वाले रथ पर आरूढ़ होओ। मेरे ये स्तोत्र तुम्हारे पास यहाँ आ लुढ़क आए हैं—आकाश के मेघ की भाँति, जो उमड़कर आगे बढ़ता है।
Rishi: Ṛgvedic Aśvin-hymn tradition (Book 20 borrowing)
Devata: Aśvinau
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh/Jagatī provenance in Ṛgveda; Atharvan transmission may compress—meter requires padapāṭha-based scansion.
