Rig Veda 8.86.1: Mandala 8, Sukta 86, Mantra 1

Sukta 8.86

Rishi: Viśvaka
Devata: Aśvinau (Dasrā, Bhiṣajā, Mayobhūvā)
Chandas: Jagatī (12-syllable cadence typical for longer pādas; refrain-like closing)

उभा हि दस्रा भिषजा मयोभुवोभा दक्षस्य वचसो बभूवथुः । ता वां विश्वको हवते तनूकृथे मा नो वि यौष्टं सख्या मुमोचतम् ॥

ubhā́ hí dasrā́ bhiṣájā mayobhúvobhā́ dákṣasya vácaso babhū́vathuḥ | tā́ vāṃ víśvako hávate tanū-kṛ́the mā́ no ví yauṣṭaṃ sakhyā́ mumócatam ||

तुम्ही दोघेही खरोखर अद्भुत; तुम्ही दोघे वैद्य-चिकित्सक; तुम्ही दोघे आनंददाते; आणि तुम्ही दोघे कौशल्याची व प्रेरित वाणीची शक्ती झाला आहात. म्हणून विश्वक तुम्हाला ‘तनूकृथि’—देह-घडणीसाठी—हाक देतो; आम्हाला वेगळे करू नका, सख्याचा बंध सैल करू नका—तो सोडवू नका.
