Sukta 12
स॒प्त प्रा॒णान॒ष्टौ म॒न्यस्तांस्ते॑ वृश्चामि॒ ब्रह्म॑णा । अया॑ य॒मस्य॒ साद॑नम॒ग्निदू॑तो॒ अरं॑कृतः
saptá prāṇā́n aṣṭáu mányas tā́ṃs té vṛścāmi bráhmaṇā | ayā́ yámasya sā́danam agnídūto áraṃkṛtaḥ
Seven life-breaths, and eight—those, O Wrath, from thee I sever with the holy spell. By this, unto Yama’s dwelling, with Agni as envoy, the way is duly made ready.
Tujuh prāṇa (nafas-hidup) dan lapan lagi—semuanya itu, wahai Manyu (Amarah), aku pisahkan daripadamu dengan mantra suci (brahman). Dengan ini, menuju kediaman Yama, dengan Agni sebagai utusan, jalan itu disediakan dengan sepatutnya.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution (hymn-level tradition; verse-specific r̥ṣi not securely isolable without padānukramaṇī consultation)
Devata: Manyu (Wrath) and Yama (Death) with Agni as messenger/mediator
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification against pada-length and editional sandhi)
Primary: raudra
Secondary: shanta
