Mantra 41
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within Vājasaneyin transmission (often linked to Yājñavalkya lineage in Śukla-Yajurveda framing).
Devata: Gṛhāḥ (personified Houses) / Kṣema-Śrī complex (functional deity-field).
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like yajus-formula with ṛc-like cadence (not a strict single chandas in the manner of Ṛgvedic metres).

Transliteration

Translation
ഹേ ഗൃഹങ്ങളേ, ഭയപ്പെടരുത്; വിറയരുത്. പോഷണശക്തി ധരിച്ചു ഞാൻ ഇവിടെ വരുന്നു. പോഷണം ധരിച്ചു നിങ്ങൾ സുമനസ്സുള്ളവരും സുമേധസ്സുള്ളവരുമാകട്ടെ; ആനന്ദിതമായ മനസ്സോടെ ഞാൻ ഗൃഹങ്ങളിലേക്കു പ്രവേശിക്കുന്നു.
