Sukta 2.25
Gṛtsamada (traditional ascription)
Brahmaṇaspati (with Agni as invoked instrument)
Jagatī (probable for RV 2.25 refrain structure; confirm by metrical count)
Is mantra mein Brahmanaspati ki tareef hai jo sacchi baat aur yagya ka malik hai. Wo sab taakat ko jodta hai taaki kaam sidh ho jaye. Agni ki aag unki madad karti hai aage badhne ke liye. Jo log galat kaam karte hai unko wo hara deta hai. Wo bandhan tod deta hai aur bhakt ke liye suraksha aur khushali laye hai. Sab milke ek team ki tarah kaam karte hai aur jeet jaate hai.
Mantra 1
इन्धानो अग्निं वनवद्वनुष्यतः कृतब्रह्मा शूशुवद्रातहव्य इत् । जातेन जातमति स प्र सर्सृते यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Jab Agni ko jalaya jata hai, woh bhakt ke liye jeet laata hai. Vedic shabd ko sahi banake, woh tej ho jata hai, jiska havan swikar ho jata hai. Naye janam se woh purane janam ko aage nikal jata hai. Aage badhta hai aur har saathi ko jod deta hai, Brahmanaspati, jo shaktiyon ko kaam ke liye milata hai.
Mantra 2
वीरेभिर्वीरान्वनवद्वनुष्यतो गोभी रयिं पप्रथद्बोधति त्मना । तोकं च तस्य तनयं च वर्धते यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Veer logon ke saath woh veeron ko jeet kar laata hai jo mehnat kar rahe hain. Kirnon ke saath woh samriddhi failata hai aur apni aatma se jaag uthata hai. Uski vansh aur aulad badhti hai, jiske liye Brahmanaspati har saathi shakti banata hai.
Mantra 3
सिन्धुर्न क्षोदः शिमीवाँ ऋघायतो वृषेव वध्रीँरभि वष्ट्योजसा । अग्नेरिव प्रसितिर्नाह वर्तवे यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Bade sailaab wali nadi ki tarah, woh tedhe dushman pe zor se maar padta hai. Bail ki tarah jo bandhan tod deta hai, aise hi woh oj se maar karta hai. Agni ki aage ki tarah, usse koi rok nahi sakta, jiske liye Brahmanaspati har saathi shakti banata hai.
Mantra 4
तस्मा अर्षन्ति दिव्या असश्चतः स सत्वभिः प्रथमो गोषु गच्छति । अनिभृष्टतविषिर्हन्त्योजसा यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Uske paas devata ki nadiya bina ruke bahne lagti hain. Apni shaktiyon ke saath woh kirnon mein sabse aage nikal jata hai. Jis oj ko koi kuchal nahi sakta, usse woh maar karta hai, jiske liye Brahmanaspati har saathi shakti banata hai.
Mantra 5
तस्मा इद्विश्वे धुनयन्त सिन्धवोऽच्छिद्रा शर्म दधिरे पुरूणि । देवानां सुम्ने सुभगः स एधते यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Uske liye saari nadiya behne lagti hain. Bahut saare aise suraksha sthal bante hain jo kabhi toote nahi. Bhagwan ki kripa se woh bhagya wala banke badhta hai, jiske liye Brahmanaspati har saathi shakti banata hai.
Brahmaṇaspati is the deity of brahman—powerful, well-formed sacred speech and priestly insight that makes rituals and intentions succeed. In this hymn he is also the one who unites all needed powers into a single effective effort.
The refrain highlights the central idea: Brahmaṇaspati “makes each and every yoke-fellow,” meaning he brings allies, energies, and faculties into cooperation so the work can be completed without obstruction.
It asks for unstoppable progress, the breaking of restraints and hostile resistance, and the establishment of “acchidra śarma”—unbroken protection and secure well-being—along with growth and good fortune under divine favor.
