Sukta 84
Sukta 5.84
Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
Himne Atri yang singkat ini menyapa suatu daya yang cepat dan mengembara, dipuja oleh nyanyian malam, serta dipuji karena menggerakkan kelimpahan dan tenaga laksana kuda perang yang meringkik. Bait ini berfungsi sebagai seruan pemanggilan yang menggugah: ia “memanggil” kilau yang bergerak/energi badai (disebut atau diberi epitet Arjunī) agar menampakkan daya hidup, momentum, dan kelimpahan yang menang bagi pemuja.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arjunī appears as a name or epithet for a swift, roaming power. From the verse alone, she seems linked to wind/storm-like movement and luminous force, but the exact deity identification needs hymn-level confirmation.
It suggests the praise is performed in the night or in a nocturnal ritual setting. The hymn frames the chant itself as an effective action that calls the roaming power to respond.
It compares the deity’s force to a war-horse surging forward—symbolizing speed, courage, and winning power (vāja). The hymn asks for that same forward-driving energy to manifest for the worshipper.
