Sukta 22
याव॒च्चत॑स्रः प्र॒दिश॒श्चक्षु॒र्याव॑त् समश्नु॒ते। ताव॑त् स॒मैत्वि॑न्द्रि॒यं मयि॒ तद्ध॑स्तिवर्च॒सम्
yā́vac catásraḥ pradíśaś cákṣur yā́vat samaśnuté | tā́vat sám etv índriyaṁ máyí tád hastivarcásam ||
As far as the eye reaches over the four quarters, so far—wholly—let mastery (Indra-power) come into me: that elephant-splendour.
जितनी दूर नज़र जाती है चारों तरफ, उतनी शक्ति मुझमे आनी चाहिए। इंद्र जैसी ताकत मेरे अंदर आए, पूरी तरह। हाथी जैसी चमक और बल मेरे पास हो।
Rishi: Atharvanic
Devata: Indriya (Indra-power) and Hastivarcasa as personified/abstract potency
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; compact two-line form)
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
