Mantra 23
Rishi: Traditionally associated with Savitṛ/Soma hymnic strata (RV parallels); in VS transmission attributed to the Yājñavalkya-lineage compilers
Devata: Soma (with Savitṛ colouring in the surrounding anuvāka)
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh (by RV-style cadence; to be confirmed against pada-count in the parallel)

Translation
ദേവസദൃശമായ മനസ്സോടെ, ഹേ ദേവ സോമ, ഹേ സഹസാവൻ (പരാക്രമശാലി), ഞങ്ങൾക്കായി ധനത്തിന്റെ പങ്കിനായി അഭിമുഖമായി പരിശ്രമിക്ക. നിന്റെ വീര്യം ഏതൊരു ക്ഷയകാരകശക്തിയും ബന്ധിക്കാതിരിക്കട്ടെ; ഗവിഷ്ടി (ഗോസംപത്തിന്റെ/ഗോവേട്ടയുടെ അന്വേഷണം)യിൽ ഇരുവശത്തുനിന്നും വിവേകത്തോടെ തിരിച്ചറിയുക.
