Mantra 38
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Vājasaneyī transmission to the Yājñavalkya-line; individual ṛṣi attribution often follows the underlying Ṛgvedic source where applicable.
Devata: Bhaga (Āditya).
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh-like cadence (ṛgvedic provenance; exact metrical classification depends on the source hymn).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
bhága eva bhágavāṁ̄2 astu devā́s téna vayáṁ bhágavantaḥ syāma | táṁ tvā bhága sárva íj johavīti sá no bhaga púra-etā bhavéhá
Translation
ദേവന്മാരിൽ ഭഗൻ തന്നേ നിശ്ചയമായും ഭഗവാൻ (ധന്യൻ) ആകട്ടെ; അവനിലൂടെ ഞങ്ങളും ഭഗവന്തർ (ആശീർവാദസമ്പന്നർ) ആകട്ടെ. ഹേ ഭഗ, എല്ലാവരും നിന്നെയേ ആഹ്വാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു; ഹേ ഭഗ, ഇവിടെ തന്നെയും ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് മുൻപന്തിയിലെ നേതാവായി ഇരിക്കണമേ.
