Sukta 28
परी॒मे॒३ग्निम॑र्षत॒ परी॒मे गाम॑नेषत । दे॒वेष्व॑क्रत॒ श्रवः॒ क इ॒माँ आ द॑धर्षति
pári ime agním arṣata pári ime gā́m aneṣata | devéṣv akrata śrávaḥ ká imā́n ā́ dadharṣati ||
Round about have these streamed about Agni; round about have these led the Cow. Among the Gods have they established glory: who is he that shall dare to assail these here?
यह लोग अग्नि के आस-पास फैल गए। यह लोग गाय को भी आस-पास ले गए। देवियों के बीच उनकी बड़ाई हो गई। अब कौन है जो इनपर हाथ उठा सके? कोई हिम्मत नहीं कर सकता।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Agni; also the Gods collectively as guarantors of śravas
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (approx.; AV often allows slight irregularity)
Primary: vira
