Sukta 29
स॒माह॑र जातवेदो॒ यद्धृ॒तं यत् परा॑भृतम्। गात्रा॑ण्यस्य वर्धन्तामं॒शुरि॒वा प्या॑यताम॒यम्
samā́hara jātavedo yád dhṛtáṃ yát parā́bhṛtam | gā́trāṇy asya vardhantām aṃśúr iva pyā́yatām ayám
Bring back together, O Jātavedas, what hath been seized, what hath been borne away. Let his limbs increase; like a ray (or soma-stalk) let this man swell and thrive.
जातवेद, जो चीज़ छीनी गई है उसे वापस ला। जो गया है उसे भी वापस ला। इस आदमी के हाथ पैर स्ट्रांग हो जाओ। जैसे धूप चमकती है वैसे यह आदमी भी चमके और आगे बढ़े।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not isolated here).
