Sukta 47
Sukta 4.47
Vāmadeva Gautama (traditional attribution for RV 4)
Vāyu (with Soma-invitation motif)
Jagatī (probable; RV 4 commonly uses Jagatī/Triṣṭubh in such invocations—requires pad-count confirmation)
Yeh mantra Vayu ko jaldi bulata hai. Vayu tez hawa ka devta hai. Use Soma peene ke liye bulaya ja raha hai. Apne ghode leke aao, pehla hissa tumhara hai. Phir Indra aur Vayu dono ko ek rath mein bulaya gaya. Humari raksha karo aur taqat do. Aashirwad do taki hum strong bane. Yeh simple prayer hai taqat maangne ki.
Mantras
Mantra 1
वायो शुक्रो अयामि ते मध्वो अग्रं दिविष्टिषु । आ याहि सोमपीतये स्पार्हो देव नियुत्वता ॥
Vayu bhagwan, tum chamakdar ho, tumhari shakti hai. Main tumhare liye Soma ka pehla pyala la raha hoon. Yeh devataon ke liye bhi hai. Tum apne ghodon ki rath mein baith ke yahan aao. Soma piyo aur hamein ashirwad do.
Mantra 2
इन्द्रश्च वायवेषां सोमानां पीतिमर्हथः । युवां हि यन्तीन्दवो निम्नमापो न सध्र्यक् ॥
Indra aur Vayu, tum dono ke liye yeh Soma hai. Tum isko piyo, tum iske haqdaar ho. Jaise paani niche ki taraf baha jata hai, waise hi Soma ki boondein tumhari taraf aati hain. Tumhare liye hi hai yeh.
Mantra 3
वायविन्द्रश्च शुष्मिणा सरथं शवसस्पती । नियुत्वन्ता न ऊतय आ यातं सोमपीतये ॥
Vayu aur Indra, dono taakat ke malik, ek hi rath par aao. Apni poori taakat lekar aao. Sahi tarike se jud ke hamari madad ke liye aao. Soma peene ke liye aao.
Mantra 4
या वां सन्ति पुरुस्पृहो नियुतो दाशुषे नरा । अस्मे ता यज्ञवाहसेन्द्रवायू नि यच्छतम् ॥
Jo bhi taakatein tumhari hain, jo log dete hain unke liye zaruri hain, woh humein de do. Indra aur Vayu, tum yagya ke dharak ho, woh taakatein hamare andar sthir kar do.
Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn invites Vāyu to come quickly and drink the first share of Soma, and asks Indra-Vāyu together to bring help, strength, and firmly established power to the worshippers.
Vāyu is portrayed as arriving swiftly with ordered, yoked energies (niyut) to receive Soma early; this symbolizes prāṇa-like vitality and the quickening of the rite’s effectiveness.
In this hymn, niyut refers to Vāyu’s yoked teams or ordered energies—his controlled powers of movement and force—requested as a boon to support the sacrifice and the sacrificer.
