Sukta 26
इ॒मं गो॒ष्ठं प॒शवः॒ सं स्र॑वन्तु॒ बृह॒स्पति॒रा न॑यतु प्रजा॒नन्। सि॒नी॒वा॒ली न॑य॒त्वाग्र॑मेषामाज॒ग्मुषो॑ अनुमते॒ नि य॑छ
imáṃ góṣṭhaṃ paśávaḥ sáṃ srávantu bṛ́haspátir ā́ nayatu prajā́nān | sinīvālī́ nayatv ágram eṣām ājagmúṣo anumate ní yaccha ||
Into this cattle-stall let the beasts stream all together: let Bṛhaspati, who knoweth the creatures, lead them hither. Let Sinīvālī lead on the foremost of them; and, O Anumati, those that have come—hold them fast herein.
Ke kandang ternak ini, biarlah hewan-hewan mengalir berkumpul bersama; biarlah Bṛhaspati, yang mengenal makhluk-makhluk, menuntun mereka kemari. Biarlah Sinīvālī menuntun yang terdepan dari mereka; dan wahai Anumati, mereka yang telah datang—tahanlah mereka teguh di sini.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted without a single fixed ṛṣi attribution in practical sūktas; commonly classed under Atharvan/Angiras milieu)
Devata: Bṛhaspati; Sinīvālī; Anumati (with paśu-saṃgraha as the pragmatic focus)
Chandas: Mixed/Pragātha-like cadence; functionally treated as a two-pāda verse in Atharvanic ritual recitation (often aligned to Anuṣṭubh tendencies in practice)
Primary: shanta
Secondary: adbhuta
