Sukta 13
यां त्वा॑ दे॒वा असृ॑जन्त॒ विश्व॒ इषुं॑ कृण्वा॒ना अस॑नाय धृ॒ष्णुम्। सा नो॑ मृड वि॒दथे॑ गृणा॒ना तस्यै॑ ते॒ नमो॑ अस्तु देवि
yā́m tvā́ devā́ asṛ́janta víśva íṣuṁ kṛṇvāná asanā́ya dhṛṣṇúm | sā́ no mṛḍa vidáthé gṛṇānā́s tásyai te námo astu devi ||
Thee whom the Gods, yea all of them, sent forth—fashioning thee a missile, bold to be hurled for smiting—be gracious unto us, while in the rite we hymn thee: to her, to thee, be reverence; homage be, O Goddess.
Deviyon ne tumhe bheja, sab milkar. Tumhe ek aise baan ki tarah banaya jo maarne ke liye taiyaar hai. Jab hum tumhe puja mein yaad karte hain, tum hum pe kripa karna. Devi, tumhe salaam, tumhe pranam.
Rishi: Uncertain here from the isolated verse; commonly Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa attribution is typical for early protective hymns (needs hymn-level anukramaṇī confirmation).
Devata: Iṣu (the Missile/Arrow) personified as Devī; implicitly backed by Viśve Devāḥ.
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh (based on cadence and length; requires pada syllable count on full hymn context for certainty).
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
