Sukta 4
प्राणः। प्राणाय नमो यस्य सर्वमिदं वशे । यो भूतः सर्वस्येश्वरो यस्मिन्त्सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम्
prāṇáḥ | prāṇā́ya námo yásya sárvam idáṃ váśe | yó bhūtáḥ sárvasyéśvaro yásmin sárvaṃ pratíṣṭhitam
Prāṇa!—obeisance unto Prāṇa, in whose dominion is all this; who, having become, is the lord of all, in whom all is established.
Rishi: Prāṇa-hymn tradition (often attributed in ancillary tradition to Atharvanic seers; exact r̥ṣi per anukramaṇī to be verified).
Devata: Prāṇa (personified vital breath).
Chandas: Mixed; predominantly anuṣṭubh-like with prose-like segmentation.
