Sukta 34
यः पर॑स्याः परा॒वत॑स्ति॒रो धन्वा॑ति॒रोच॑ते । स नः॑ पर्ष॒दति॒ द्विषः॑
yáḥ párasyāḥ parāvátaḥ tíro dhánvā tírócate | sá naḥ párṣad áti dvíṣaḥ
He who from yonder farthest distance shines across—across the waste: may he bear us over, beyond the haters.
അത്യന്തം ദൂരെയുള്ള പരാവതത്തിൽ നിന്ന് പ്രകാശിച്ച്, ഉജ്ജാടമായ ധന്വാ (വ്യർത്ഥഭൂമി) മീതെയും അപ്പുറംവരെ തിളങ്ങുന്നവൻ—അവൻ ഞങ്ങളെ ദ്വേഷികളുടെ അപ്പുറം കടത്തട്ടെ.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
