Rig Veda 10.40.9: Mandala 10, Sukta 40, Mantra 9

Sukta 10.40

Devata: Predominantly Aśvinau-context within the hymn; this verse turns to an exemplum of union/mastery (devata not explicitly named in the pāda as given).

जनिष्ट योषा पतयत्कनीनको वि चारुहन्वीरुधो दंसना अनु । आस्मै रीयन्ते निवनेव सिन्धवोऽस्मा अह्ने भवति तत्पतित्वनम् ॥

janiṣṭha yóṣā patáyat kanīnakaḥ ví cā́ru-hanvī́rudho daṃsanā́ ánu | ā́smāi rīyante nivanéva síndhavo 'smā́ ahné bhavati tát patitvánam ||

ಕನ್ಯೆ ಜನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ; ಯೌವನದ ಕುಮಾರನು ಅವಳ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹಾರುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಸುಂದರ-ದವಡೆಯ ಶಕ್ತಿಗಳು ಕರ್ಮಕೌಶಲ್ಯದ ದಂಸನೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಅವನಿಗಾಗಿ ಪ್ರವಾಹಗಳು ಇಳಿಜಾರಿನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹರಿಯುವಂತೆ ಹರಿಯುತ್ತವೆ; ಅವನಿಗೆ ಆ ದಿನವೇ ಪತಿತ್ವ—ಆಧಿಪತ್ಯದ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ—ಉದ್ಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
