Mantra 23
Sukta 7
याः सुपर्णा आङ्गिरसीर्दिव्या या रघतो विदुः । वयांसि हंसा या विदुर्याश्च सर्वे पतत्रिणः । मृगा या विदुरोषधीस्ता अस्मा अवसे हुवे
yā́ḥ supárṇā āṅgirasī́r divyā́ yā́ ragháto vidúḥ | vayā́ṃsi haṃsā́ yā́ vidúr yā́ś ca sárve patatríṇaḥ | mṛgā́ yā́ vidúr oṣadhī́s tā́ asmā́ aváse huve
What fair-winged, Angirasa, heavenly ones the swift have known—what birds, what geese have known, yea what all winged creatures; what wild beasts have known of herbs—those I invoke for this man’s aid.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (ṛṣi attribution varies).
Devata: Oṣadhayaḥ (Herbs), with Suparṇas/Angirasa-heavenly knowers as invoked authorities.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-jagati mixture is possible in longer AV verses; here best treated as mixed/irregular Atharvanic meter.
