Sukta 14
Rishi: Traditionally Savitar-hymn seers (RV parallels suggest a learned, RV-derived stratum; exact AV anukramaṇī attribution to be checked)
Devata: Savitar
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence is possible; confirm by syllable count in critical edition (this verse is not a simple anuṣṭubh).
Is chapter mein char mantra hain jo Savitar bhagwan ko bulate hain. Savitar ki "sachcha prerana" se apna irada sahi raaste par lagaya jata hai. Isse aapko acche cheezein milti hain, khaas kar gaay-bail aur sthir sampatti. Yahan yaad kiya gaya hai ki Savitar ne pehle pita ko ooncha sthan aur wide jagah di thi. Aaj ki sampatti wohi purani dharma parampara ka hissa hai. Isliye Savitar se prayas karte hain ki woh hume bhi wohi barkat de.
