Sukta 12
स उत् ति॑ष्ठ॒ प्रेहि॒ प्र द्र॑व॒ रथः॑ सुच॒क्रः सु॑प॒विः सु॒नाभिः॑। प्रति॑ तिष्ठो॒र्ध्वः
sá út tiṣṭha préhi prá drava ráthaḥ sucakráḥ supavíḥ sunābhíḥ | práti tiṣṭhordhváḥ ||
Rise up; go forth; run onward—like a chariot well-wheeled, well-fellied, with sound naves. Stand thou again, upright and firm.
എഴുന്നേൽക്കുക; മുന്നോട്ടുപോകുക; ഓടി മുന്നേറുക—നല്ല ചക്രങ്ങളുള്ള, നല്ല പവികളുള്ള, ഉറച്ച നാഭികളുള്ള രഥംപോലെ. വീണ്ടും നില്ക്കുക—നേരായി, ദൃഢമായി.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Restored vitality/mobility; implicitly the body-as-chariot under divine order
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (appears longer than strict anuṣṭubh; likely a triṣṭubh/jagatī-like cadence in AV style)
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
