Atharva Veda 7.12.2: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 12, Mantra 2
Sukta 12
वि॒द्म ते॑ सभे॒ नाम॑ न॒रिष्टा॒ नाम॒ वा अ॑सि । ये ते॒ के च॑ सभा॒सद॒स्ते मे॑ सन्तु॒ सवा॑चसः
vidmá te sabhe nā́ma naríṣṭā nā́ma vā́ asi | yé te ké ca sabhāsádaḥ té me santu sávācasaḥ
We know thy name, O Assembly: ‘Nariṣṭā’ by name thou art. Whatsoever members are thine that sit in council—let them be to me of one utterance, in accord of speech.
हे सभे! आम्ही तुझे नाव जाणतो—तू ‘नरिष्टा’ नावाची आहेस. तुझे जे-जे सभासद् परिषदेतील आसनांवर बसले आहेत, ते सर्व माझ्यासाठी एकवाणी होवोत, वाणीच्या एकमतात राहोत.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (unspecified in excerpt).
Devata: Sabhā (as Nariṣṭā); implicitly the sabhāsadas as a collective.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (two pādas with compact cadence).
Primary: shanta
