Rig Veda 10.119.11: Mandala 10, Sukta 119, Mantra 11

Sukta 10.119

Rishi: Unknown/Anukramani tradition often associates RV 10.119 with a self-utterance in Soma-intoxication (a poet-seer speaking as ‘I’); specific rishi attribution uncertain in this excerpt.
Devata: Soma (with Āpas/Waters as supporting powers); the refrain ‘kuvit somasyāpām iti’ keeps Soma-Waters central.
Chandas: Likely Jagatī/Tr̥ṣṭubh-family for the hymn; exact meter per verse requires pada-count verification.

दिवि मे अन्यः पक्षोऽधो अन्यमचीकृषम् । कुवित्सोमस्यापामिति ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 10.119.11

diví me anyáḥ pakṣó ’dhó anyám acīkṛṣam | kuvít somásyāpā́m íti ||

मेरा एक पंख आसमान में है, दूसरा नीचे। मैं दोनों तरफ फैल गया हूँ। शायद यह भी सोम के पानी की वजह से हुआ।
