Reflective/ritual inquiry (yajña-centered; not a single devatā explicitly addressed)
Is mantra mein poochha gaya hai ki yajna mein itne saare pandit aur kaam hain, phir bhi sab ka ek hi maqsad hai. Yahan ek ajab baat samajh mein aati hai - ek Agni, ek Suraj, ek Subah, lekin sab alag alag roop mein dikhte hain. Phir Ashvin duo ko bulaya gaya hai Soma peene ke liye. Wo apni tez gaadi mein aake madad karte hain. Yeh mantra batata hai ki bhale bahut log alag kaam karein, sab milkar ek hi kaam karte hain. Ashvin jaldi aake sahayata dete hain.
Mantras
Mantra 1
यमृत्विजो बहुधा कल्पयन्तः सचेतसो यज्ञमिमं वहन्ति । यो अनूचानो ब्राह्मणो युक्त आसीत्का स्वित्तत्र यजमानस्य संवित् ॥
Pandit log yagya ko kitni tarah se sajate hain, apna mann laga ke. Jab ek pandit poora janta hai aur kaam mein jud jata hai, tab yajmaan ko kya samajh aata hai? Us waqt uska dhyan kahan hota hai?
Mantra 2
एक एवाग्निर्बहुधा समिद्ध एकः सूर्यो विश्वमनु प्रभूतः । एकैवोषाः सर्वमिदं वि भात्येकं वा इदं वि बभूव सर्वम् ॥
Agni ek hai, lekin kitni jagah jalaya jata hai. Suraj bhi ek hai, sab jagah failta hai. Usha bhi ek hai, sabko roshni deta hai. Asal mein ek hi cheez sab jagah hai, bas uske roop alag-alag hain.
Mantra 3
ज्योतिष्मन्तं केतुमन्तं त्रिचक्रं सुखं रथं सुषदं भूरिवारम् । चित्रामघा यस्य योगेऽधिजज्ञे तं वां हुवे अति रिक्तं पिबध्यै ॥
Woh rath roshni se bhara hai, usme nishaniyan hain. Uske teen pahiye hain, aasani se chalta hai, aaram se baithne ko jaga hai. Jo us rath ko jodta hai, usme jo paida hota hai, main use bulata hoon. Ashvin bhaiyon, tumhare liye, Som ras pine ke liye.
