Rig Veda 10.167.4: Mandala 10, Sukta 167, Mantra 4

Sukta 10.167

Rishi: The verse explicitly names Viśvāmitra and Jamadagni; this may signal lineage invocation or a ritual/poetic self-positioning rather than simple authorship. Traditional attribution requires external Anukramaṇī data.

Devata: Mixed/unclear in this verse alone; it speaks of Soma-pressing and addresses a dual ‘vām’.

Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh (to be confirmed).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्रसूतो भक्षमकरं चरावपि स्तोमं चेमं प्रथमः सूरिरुन्मृजे । सुते सातेन यद्यागमं वां प्रति विश्वामित्रजमदग्नी दमे ॥

Transliteration

prasū́to bhakṣám akaraṁ carā́v ápi stómam cemáṁ prathamáḥ sūrír unmṛje | suté sā́tena yády ā́gamam vāṁ práti viśvāmitra-jamadagnī dáme ||

Translation

Tergerak, aku telah menyiapkan bagian persembahan di dalam mangkuk, dan aku menenun kidung ini—yang pertama sebagai pemberi yang tercerahkan. Ketika, melalui kemenangan dalam Soma yang diperas, aku datang kepada kalian berdua, di dalam rumah—wahai Viśvāmitra dan Jamadagni (daya penglihatan ilham dan penguasaan api).
