Sukta 10
जग॑ता॒ सिन्धुं॑ दि॒व्यऽस्कभायद् रथंत॒रे सूर्यं॒ पर्य॑पश्यत्। गा॒य॒त्रस्य॑ स॒मिध॑स्ति॒स्र आ॑हु॒स्ततो॑ म॒ह्ना प्र रि॑रिचे महि॒त्वा
jágatā síndhuṃ diví ’skabhāyad rathantaré sū́ryaṃ páry apaśyat | gāyatrásya samídhas tisrá āhús táto máhnā prá ririce mahitvā́
With Jagatī he propped the flood in heaven; in Rathantara he beheld the Sun all round. Three kindlings, they say, belong to the Gāyatra: thence, by greatness, it overflowed in majesty.
जगती छंद से आसमान में समुंदर को संभाला गया। रथंतर में सूर्य को पूरा देखा गया। गायत्री के लिए तीन अग्नि जलाते हैं लोग। वही से इसकी महत्वा बढ़ गई और वो चमक उठा।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (cosmic-chandas speculation).
Devata: Chandas as Skambha-like support; Sūrya as witness; Agni implied via samidh.
Chandas: Speculative; references Jagatī and Gāyatrī; not a simple single-metre hymn.
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
