They who, intent in thought, pursued the man in bonds, watching him with mind and with the eye,—may Agni, the God, first of all unloose those; and may Viśvakarman, guarding him, (save him) with progeny.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (hymn-level attribution varies by anukramaṇī; commonly treated as Atharvanic).
Devata: Agni; Viśvakarman (as protective cosmic artisan).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (Atharvanic mixed meters; often catalogued as Triṣṭubh in parallel diction).
