Sukta 127
ए॒ष इ॒षाय॑ मामहे श॒तं नि॒ष्कान् दश॒ स्रजः॑ । त्रीणि॑ श॒तान्यर्व॑तां स॒हस्रा॒ दश॒ गोना॑म्
eṣá iṣā́ya māmahe śatáṃ niṣkā́n dáśa srájaḥ | trī́ṇi śatā́ny árvātāṃ sahásrā daśá gónām ||
This for our strengthening we acclaim: a hundred niṣka-gold, ten garlands. Three hundreds of horses, and ten thousands of kine.
हम अपनी ताकत के लिए यह बोलते हैं। सौ सोने के सिक्के, दस हार। तीन सौ घोड़े, और दस हज़ार गायें।
Rishi: Uncertain (khila-style laud tradition).
Devata: Iṣ (prosperity/nourishment) as functional devatā; also wealth itself as sacralized.
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh; requires syllable verification.
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
