Sukta 10.183
A generative tapas-born power (often read in context with fertility/progeny rites; addressed as a presence to be born)
Is mantra mein ek tapas se janm wali shakti ko bulaya gaya hai. Woh shakti sevak ko beta aur aulad de. Rishi ne andar se dekha ki yeh shakti chetan hai. Woh mausam ke hisaab se kaam karti hai. Usne bataya ki woh shakti uske andar basi hai. Woh paudhon mein bhi bij dalti hai. Saari duniya mein janm wohi sambhalti hai. Isliye usey pukar ke ashirwad maanga hai.
Mantra 1
अपश्यं त्वा मनसा चेकितानं तपसो जातं तपसो विभूतम् । इह प्रजामिह रयिं रराणः प्र जायस्व प्रजया पुत्रकाम ॥
Maine tumhe apne mann se dekha, tum jo jaante ho aur samajhte ho. Tum tapasya se paida hue ho, tapasya se bade hue ho. Yahan bacchon ke khushi mein, yahan dhan mein khush rehte hue, aage badho. Beta ke liye ichchha rakhne wale, apni shakti se paida karo.
Mantra 2
अपश्यं त्वा मनसा दीध्यानां स्वायां तनू ऋत्व्ये नाधमानाम् । उप मामुच्चा युवतिर्बभूयाः प्र जायस्व प्रजया पुत्रकामे ॥
Maine tumhe apne mann mein dekha jab woh jag raha tha. Tum apne shareer mein kaam kar rahe the sahi waqt par. Mere upar uth ke aao, ek shaktishali yuva stree ki tarah bano. Beta ke ichchha wale, apni shakti se paida karo.
Mantra 3
अहं गर्भमदधामोषधीष्वहं विश्वेषु भुवनेष्वन्तः । अहं प्रजा अजनयं पृथिव्यामहं जनिभ्यो अपरीषु पुत्रान् ॥
Maine garbh ko dawa aur podhon mein rakha hai. Main saari duniya mein hoon. Main dharti par logon ko paida karta hoon. Main har paidaish ko door-door tak bete deta hoon taaki creation chalta rahe.
It primarily prays for successful progeny (prajā), especially the blessing of a son in a putrakāma context, along with prosperity (rayi) and life-continuity.
Rather than a single named god like Indra or Agni, the hymn addresses a tapas-born generative Power—an immanent creative presence that brings conception and birth and is described as present within all worlds.
It portrays fertility as a cosmic, life-pervading process: the creative Power ‘places the embryo in the plants,’ linking healing, vitality, and reproduction as one continuous force in nature.
