Mantra 11
Sukta 4
य इन्द्र इव देवेषु गोष्वेति विवावदत्। तस्य ऋषभस्याङ्गानि ब्रह्मा सं स्तौतु भद्रया
yá índra iva devéṣu góṣv éti vivā́vadat | tásya ṛṣabhásyā́ṅgāni brahmā́ sáṃ stotu bhadráyā ||
He who, like Indra among the Gods, moves amid the kine and sounds aloud—of that bull’s limbs let the Brahman wholly speak in praise with auspicious word.
जो देवों में इन्द्र के समान, गौओं के बीच चलता है और ऊँचे स्वर से गर्जना करता है—उस वृषभ के अंगों का ब्राह्मण शुभ वाणी से पूर्णतः स्तवन करे।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn-level attribution uncertain in common metadata).
Devata: Ṛṣabha (bull) as empowered subject; Indra as paradigmatic comparator; Brahman-power as operative agency.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence, with Atharvanic irregularities.
