From that sheath whence we drew forth the Veda, therein—within—we set it down. The rite accomplished, the offering duly made by the might of sacred prayer: thereby, O Gods, with holy ardour, aid and guard me here.
जिस कोश से हमने वेद को बाहर निकाला, उसमें ही उसको वापस रख दिया। पूजा पूरा हो गयी, भगवान की शक्ति से ऑफरिंग दी गयी। हे देवी देवता, अपनी तपस्या की शक्ति से मुझे यहाँ बचाओ और साथ रहो।
Rishi: Uncertain/late compilation layer (often treated as Atharvanic redactional voice rather than a named ṛṣi).
Devata: Brahman/Veda-power; secondarily ‘Devāḥ’ as protectors.
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (late Atharvanic style; not securely classed as a standard RV meter).
Primary: shanta
