Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 2.13.2

pári dhatta dhattá no várcasémáṃ jarā́mṛtyuṃ kṛṇuta dīrghám ā́yuḥ | bṛ́haspátiḥ prā́yacchad vā́sa etát sómāya rā́jñe pári-dhātavá u

Enwrap ye, wrap ye it about us for our splendour: make ye old age and death depart, and fashion long life. Bṛhaspati bestowed this garment for King Soma, to be put on round about, verily.

ഞങ്ങളുടെ വർചസ്സിനായി ഇതിനെ ഞങ്ങളുടെ ചുറ്റും പൊതിയുക, പൊതിയുക; ജരയും മരണവും അകറ്റി, ദീർഘായുസ്സ് സൃഷ്ടിക്കുവിൻ. ബൃഹസ്പതി ഈ വസ്ത്രം രാജാ സോമനു ദാനം ചെയ്തു—എല്ലാദിക്കിലും ചുറ്റി ധരിക്കുവാൻ, നിശ്ചയമായും.

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often attributed generically within Saunaka’s arrangement; specific ṛṣi assignment requires pada-anukramaṇī confirmation for AV 2.13).

Devata: Vāsas (as protective implement) with Bṛhaspati and Soma-rājan as authorizing divine agents.

Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh/related Atharvanic cadence (exact metrical classification to be verified against the Anukramaṇī for AV 2.13.2).

Primary: shanta
