Sukta 84
Sukta 5.84
Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
हे संक्षिप्त अत्रि-सूक्त रात्रीच्या स्तोत्रांनी गौरविल्या जाणाऱ्या वेगवान, भटक्या शक्तीला उद्देशून आहे. ती हिणहिणणाऱ्या युद्धाश्वाप्रमाणे समृद्धी व बळ पुढे ढकलणारी म्हणून स्तुतिली जाते. हा मंत्र एक प्रभावी आवाहन ठरतो: चालती तेजस्विता/वादळ-ऊर्जा (अर्जुनी हे नाव किंवा उपाधी) प्रकट होऊन उपासकाला जोम, गती आणि विजयदायी समृद्धी देओ, असे तो “हाक” देतो.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arjunī appears as a name or epithet for a swift, roaming power. From the verse alone, she seems linked to wind/storm-like movement and luminous force, but the exact deity identification needs hymn-level confirmation.
It suggests the praise is performed in the night or in a nocturnal ritual setting. The hymn frames the chant itself as an effective action that calls the roaming power to respond.
It compares the deity’s force to a war-horse surging forward—symbolizing speed, courage, and winning power (vāja). The hymn asks for that same forward-driving energy to manifest for the worshipper.
