Mantra 11

Rishi: Traditionally assigned within the Agni-hymn lineage (Āṅgirasa/Agneya complex); in Śukla-Yajurveda praxis often treated as ‘mantra of the Adhvaryu’ without a single r̥ṣi emphasis.

Devata: Agni (as protector/warder-off of hostility).

Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed, as typical of many Agni-protective formulas in ritual collections).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्रति॒ स्पशो॒ वि सृ॑ज॒ तूर्णि॑तमो॒ भवा॑ पा॒युर्वि॒शो अ॒स्या अद॑ब्धः । यो नो॑ दू॒रे अ॒घश॑ᳪसो॒ यो अन्त्यग्ने॒ मा कि॑ष्टे॒ व्यथि॒रा द॑धर्षीत्

Transliteration

práti spaśó ví sṛja tū́rṇitamo bhavā pāyúrvíśo asyā́ adabdhaḥ | yó no dūré aghaśáṃso yó ánty agne mā́ kíṣṭe vyáthirā́ dadharṣīt

Translation

ಹೇ ಅಗ್ನಿ, ಗುಪ್ತಚಾರರನ್ನು ಹಿಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಓಡಿಸು; ಅವರನ್ನು ಚದುರಿಸು; ನೀನು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ವೇಗವಂತನಾಗು. ಈ ಜನಸಮೂಹದ ಅಡಬ್ಧ (ಮೋಸಗೊಳ್ಳದ) ಪಾಯು (ರಕ್ಷಕ) ನೀನೇ ಆಗು. ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ದೂರದಿಂದ ದುರುದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ದೂಷಿಸುವವನು ಯಾರೇ ಆಗಲಿ, ಅಥವಾ ಸಮೀಪದಲ್ಲಿರುವವನು ಯಾರೇ ಆಗಲಿ—ಹೇ ಅಗ್ನಿ, ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಅಸ್ಥಿರಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಯತ್ನಿಸುವವನು ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ದಾಳಿ ಮಾಡಲು ಧೈರ್ಯ ಮಾಡದಿರಲಿ.
