Sukta 5.47
Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition) (book 5)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm in critical edition)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
प्रयुञ्जती दिव एति ब्रुवाणा मही माता दुहितुर्बोधयन्ती । आविवासन्ती युवतिर्मनीषा पितृभ्य आ सदने जोहुवाना ॥
Transliteration
prayuñjatī́ divá eti bruvāṇā́ mahī́ mātā́ duhitur bódhayantī | ā́vivāsantī yuvatír manīṣā́ pitṛ́-bhya ā́ sadáne jóhuvānā ||
Translation
അവൾ തന്നേ യോജിപ്പിച്ചു പ്രകാശമുള്ള ദിവത്തിൽ നിന്നു മുന്നേറുന്നു, വാക്കുചൊല്ലി; മഹാമാതാവ് തന്റെ പുത്രിയെ ഉണർത്തുന്നു. പ്രചോദിതമായ മനീഷയുള്ള യുവതി, വന്ദനം ചെയ്തു, പിതൃകളെ അവരുടെ സദനത്തിലേക്കു വിളിക്കുന്നു—നമ്മിൽ യജ്ഞവിധി സ്ഥാപിക്കുവാൻ പൂർവ്വജശക്തികളെ ആഹ്വാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു.
