She who is yoked in front, and she who behind; she who is yoked from every side, and she from all quarters: by whom the Sacrifice is stretched forth and drawn onward—her I ask of thee: which of the verses is she?
ಯಾ ಪುರಸ್ತಾತ್ (ಮುಂದೆ) ಯುಜ್ಯತೇ ಮತ್ತು ಯಾ ಪಶ್ಚಾತ್ (ಹಿಂದೆ) ಯುಜ್ಯತೇ; ಯಾ ವಿಶ್ವತಃ (ಎಲ್ಲೆಡೆಯಿಂದ) ಯುಜ್ಯತೇ ಮತ್ತು ಯಾ ಸರ್ವತಃ (ಎಲ್ಲ ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಿಂದ) ಯುಜ್ಯತೇ—ಯಯಾ ಯಜ್ಞಃ ಪ್ರಾಂಗ್ (ಮುಂದೆ) ತಾಯತೇ, ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಎಳೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟು ಸಾಗುತ್ತದೆ, ಆಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ನಾನು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ: ಆಕೆ ಯಾವ ಋಚಾ (ಮಂತ್ರಪಂಕ್ತಿ) ಆಗಿದ್ದಾಳೆ?
Rishi: Skambha-speculative tradition (variable)
Devata: Ṛc/Chandas as personified ordering power; ultimately Skambha/Brahman
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (mixed)
