In the Waters is thy birth; in heaven is thy settled station; within the Ocean is thy greatness; on Earth (too) is thine. With that heavenly might of Śuna—therewith would we do thee worship by oblation.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī lists for this hymn)
Devata: A pervasive divine potency (interpretable as a deified ‘might’/mahimā; sometimes linked with Śuna as epithet)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed; requires metrical verification against pada count)
