Sukta 26
Sukta 2.26
Gṛtsamada (Āṅgirasa) (traditional ascription for Mandala 2 hymns)
Brahmaṇaspati (Br̥haspati) as the power of the formative Word and right-discriminating will (implicit across RV 2.26)
Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 2.26; verse-length and cadence align with triṣṭubh usage in this hymn)
Is mantra mein Brahmanaspati ko bulaya ja raha hai. Wo shabd ke malik hain jo hamari baat ko seedha aur powerful banate hain. Wo un logon par jeet dilate hain jo yagya nahi karte. Jo log bhakti se yagya karte hain, unko dhan aur dost milte hain. Brahmanaspati unko andar se strong banate hain. Wo sahi raasta dikhate hain aur mushkil se bachate hain.
Mantras
Mantra 1
ऋजुरिच्छंसो वनवद्वनुष्यतो देवयन्निददेवयन्तमभ्यसत् । सुप्रावीरिद्वनवत्पृत्सु दुष्टरं यज्वेदयज्योर्वि भजाति भोजनम् ॥
Jo baat seedhi aur sach hoti hai, woh aadmi ke kaam aati hai. Woh insaan jo bhagwan ki taraf jaana chahta hai, uski madad karti hai. Aur jo bhagwan ko nahi maanta, usko hila deti hai. Mushkil ladai mein bhi yeh baat taakat deti hai. Jo yagya karta hai, woh apne liye accha khana alag kar leta hai.
Mantra 2
यजस्व वीर प्र विहि मनायतो भद्रं मनः कृणुष्व वृत्रतूर्ये । हविष्कृणुष्व सुभगो यथाससि ब्रह्मणस्पतेरव आ वृणीमहे ॥
Hey veer, yagya kar. Apna mann aage badha. Dushman ko todne ke liye mann ko saaf aur accha bana. Bhagwan ke liye offering taiyaar kar taaki tu accha result paa sake. Brahmanaspati ki madad hum maang rahe hain.
Mantra 3
स इज्जनेन स विशा स जन्मना स पुत्रैर्वाजं भरते धना नृभिः । देवानां यः पितरमाविवासति श्रद्धामना हविषा ब्रह्मणस्पतिम् ॥
Log uska saath dete hain, samaj bhi saath deti hai. Bacche bhi usko taakat dete hain. Jo Brahmanaspati ko bhagwan baap maan ke puja karta hai, usko sab milta hai.
Mantra 4
यो अस्मै हव्यैर्घृतवद्भिरविधत्प्र तं प्राचा नयति ब्रह्मणस्पतिः । उरुष्यतीमंहसो रक्षती रिषोंऽहोश्चिदस्मा उरुचक्रिरद्भुतः ॥
Jo bhagwan ke liye acchi offering deta hai, Brahmanaspati usko sahi raasta dikhate hain. Woh usko bada safe rakhte hain, dukh se bachate hain. Jab bhi mushkil aati hai, woh usko protect karte hain. Yeh unka kaam kamaal ka hai.
