Rig Veda 10.77.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 77, Mantra 8

Sukta 10.77

Devata: Ādityas (solar powers of Truth) / beneficent divine helpers in yajña (exact devatā not explicit in the single verse)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable, based on RV 10 style and cadence; needs full-sūkta metrical confirmation)

ते हि यज्ञेषु यज्ञियास ऊमा आदित्येन नाम्ना शम्भविष्ठाः । ते नोऽवन्तु रथतूर्मनीषां महश्च यामन्नध्वरे चकानाः ॥

té hí yajñéṣu yajñíyāsa ū́mā ādityéna nā́mnā śáṃ-bhaviṣṭhāḥ | té no’vantu rathá-tūr manīṣā́m maháś ca yā́mann adhvaré cakānā́ḥ ||

तेच यज्ञांमध्ये सर्वाधिक यज्ञिय—तपस्येच्या ऊमा-शक्ती—आदित्य-नामाने परम कल्याणकारी आहेत. ते आमच्यासाठी रथवेगी प्रेरित मनीषा आणि महत् महानता यांचे रक्षण करो—जे गतीत आणि निर्दोष अध्वरात आनंदित आहेत.
