Atharva Veda 3.3.4: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 4
Sukta 3
श्ये॒नो ह॒व्यं न॑य॒त्वा पर॑स्मादन्यक्षे॒त्रेअप॑रुद्धं॒ चर॑न्तम्। अ॒श्विना॒ पन्थां॑ कृणुतां सु॒गं त॑ इ॒मं स॑जाता अभि॒संवि॑शध्वम्
śyéno havyáṃ nayatvā́ párasmād anyakṣétré ’páruddhaṃ cárantam | aśvínā pánthā́ṃ kṛṇutāṃ sugáṃ ta imáṃ sajātā abhisaṃvíśadhvam ||
Let the Hawk convey the offering hither from afar—him who, moving to and fro, is held fast in another’s field. O Aśvins, make ye for him a path well-going: do ye, his birth-mates, enter together unto this one (and so be reunited).
बाज़ पक्षी को बुलाया जा रहा है। जो बंदा दूसरी जगह फंसा हुआ है, उसे वापिस लाओ। अश्विन देवता उसका रास्ता साफ करें। वो अपने भाई-बंदन से मिल जाए। घर वापिस आए।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution (as typical for AV retrieval and protection formulae; specific r̥ṣi assignment depends on the anukramaṇī tradition for AV 3.3).
Devata: Śyena (as messenger-force) and the Aśvins (as rescuing healers/path-makers).
Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (AV triṣṭubh/jagatī admixture is possible by recension; confirm by pada count in metrical analysis).
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: vira
