Sukta 40
आदह स्वधामनु पुनर्गर्भत्वमेरिरे। दधाना नाम यज्ञियम्
ā́ daha svadhā́m ánu púnar garbhatvám érire | dádhānā nā́ma yajñíyam
Burn on, in ordered course, the Svadhā-power: again they have set a return to embryo-state in motion, establishing the sacrificial Name.
Rishi: Traditionally aligned with Ṛgvedic provenance in AV 20 (late appendix); specific seer uncertain without full anukramaṇī context.
Devata: Agni/Svadhā (functional focus on fire and svadhā-power; Pitṛ-oriented efficacy).
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh or related (requires full pada count verification).
