आ दधामि ते पदं समिद्धे जातवेदसि । अग्निः शरीरं वेवेष्ट्वसुं वागपि गछतु
ā́ dadhāmi te padáṃ samíddhe jātávedasi | agníḥ śarī́raṃ vevéṣṭv ásuṃ vā́g ápi gachatu ||
I set for thee thy footing in Jātavedas duly kindled. Let Agni fold the body round; let breath, let Speech also, come again.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often attributed broadly to Atharvan/Angiras line for such healing verses; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on anukramaṇī tradition).
Devata: Agni Jātavedas (as healer and restorer of life-signs: asu and vāk).
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with Atharvanic cadence; pāda-structure consistent with 8-syllable quarters, allowing minor textual/recensional variation).
