Sukta 4
यूयमग्ने शंतमाभिस्तनूभिरीजानमभि लोकं स्वर्गम्। अश्वा भूत्वा पृष्टिवाहो वहाथ यत्र देवैः सधमादं मदन्ति
yūyám agne śáṃtamābhis tanū́bhir ījānáṃ abhí lokáṃ svargám | áśvā bhūtvā pṛṣṭhivā́ho vahātha yátra deváiḥ sadhámādaṃ mádanti
Ye, O Agni, with forms most full of welfare, convey the worshipper unto the heavenly world. Becoming horses, back-bearing, bear him thither—where with the Gods they rejoice in the common festal gladness.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (funeral book).
Devata: Agni (as carrier to Svarga; gods as the receiving assembly).
Chandas: Likely triṣṭubh; requires scan.
