dhrúvā́ ā́ róha pṛthivī́m viśvá-bhojasam antárikṣam upabhṛ́dā krámasva | juhú dyā́m gáccha yájamānena sākáṃ sruvéṇa vatséna díśaḥ prápīnāḥ sárvā dhúkṣvā́hṛṇyamānaḥ
Steadfast, ascend the Earth; stride with the upabhṛt-ladle through the all-nourishing Mid-air. Offer: go unto Heaven together with the Sacrificer; with the sruva, with the calf, do thou milk—all the Directions, made full—being drawn hither.
Dengan teguh, naiklah ke Bumi; melangkahlah melalui Antarikṣa yang mengenyangkan segala, dengan senduk upabhṛt. Persembahkanlah: pergilah ke Syurga bersama Yajamāna; dengan sruva, dengan anak lembu, perahlah—segala Penjuru, yang telah dipenuhkan—sedang ditarik ke mari.
Rishi: Traditionally associated with Atharvanic seers for AV 18 (funeral book); specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī tradition.
Devata: Cosmic regions (Pṛthivī, Antarikṣa, Dyauḥ) and the personified Directions; Agni implied through offering (juhú).
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like triṣṭubh-jagatī tendencies in AV 18; metrical identification requires pada-counting from a critical text.
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: vira
