Sukta 135
अला॑बूनि पृ॒षात॑का॒न्यश्व॑त्थ॒पला॑शम्। पिपी॑लिका॒वट॒श्वसो॑ वि॒द्युत्स्वाप॑र्णश॒फो गोश॒फो जरित॒रोऽथामो॑ दै॒व
alā́būni pṛṣā́takāny áśvattha-palā́śam | pipī́likā vaṭa-śvásaḥ vidyút svā́parṇa-śaphó gośaphó jaritaro ’thā́mo daiváḥ
Gourds, and the speckled things; the leaf of the Aśvattha; the ant; the banyan-breath; lightning; the fair-leafed, hoofed one; the cow-hoofed: O Singer—then, the divine raw might.
इस मंत्र में बहुत सारी चीज़ें गिनी हुई हैं, लौकी, चित्ते वाले पेड़, पीपल का पत्ता, चींटी, बरगद की साँस, बिजली, और गाय के खुर वाले जानवर। यह सब काम आते हैं। गायक के पास भगवान की ताकत होती है।
Rishi: Tradition aligns AV 20 hymns with Rigvedic attributions; specific r̥ṣi for 20.135 is treated as RV-derived (uncertain here without padānukramaṇī cross-check).
Devata: Deva/Daiva efficacy; broadly sacrificial powers rather than a single deity in this verse.
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (catalogue line); AV 20 often preserves RV meters but this segment is not cleanly anuṣṭubh.
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: vira
