Rig Veda 1.154.6: Mandala 1, Sukta 154, Mantra 6

Sukta 1.154

Rishi: Dīrghatamas Aucathya (traditional attribution for RV 1.154)
Devata: Viṣṇu (with the hymn’s wider frame sometimes moving in the Indra–Viṣṇu companionship of world-conquest; this verse centers on Viṣṇu’s supreme step)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

ता वां वास्तून्युश्मसि गमध्यै यत्र गावो भूरिशृङ्गा अयासः । अत्राह तदुरुगायस्य वृष्णः परमं पदमव भाति भूरि ॥

tā vāṃ vāstūny uśmasi gamadhyai yatra gāvo bhūriśṛṅgā ayāsaḥ | atrāha tad urugāyasya vṛṣṇaḥ paramaṃ padam ava bhāti bhūri ||

ನಾವು ನಿಮ್ಮಿಬ್ಬರ ಆ ನಿವಾಸಸ್ಥಾನಗಳನ್ನು ತಲುಪಲು ಬಯಸುತ್ತೇವೆ; ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹು-ಶೃಂಗಗಳ ಗೋವುಗಳು—ಪ್ರಕಾಶಮಯ ಜ್ಞಾನದ ಕಿರಣಗಳು—ಅಲಸದೆ ಸಂಚರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಜವಾಗಿ, ಉರುಗಾಯನಾದ (ವಿಶಾಲ-ಸ್ತುತಿಗೋಚರ) ವೃಷಭನ, ವ್ಯಾಪಕನ, ಪರಮ ಪಾದವು ಅಪಾರ ಪ್ರಕಾಶದಿಂದ ಹೊಳೆಯುತ್ತದೆ.
