Sukta 29
इन्द्र॑ ए॒तां स॑सृजे विद्धो अग्र॑ ऊ॒र्जां स्व॒धाम॒जरां॒ सा त॑ ए॒षा। तया॒ त्वं जी॑व श॒रदः॑ सु॒वर्चा॒ मा त॒ आ सु॑स्रोद् भि॒षज॑स्ते अक्रन्
índra etā́ṃ sasṛje viddhó ágre ūrjā́ṃ svadhā́m ájarāṃ sā́ ta eṣā́ | tayā́ tváṃ jī́va śarádaḥ suvár̥cā mā́ ta ā́ susrod bhiṣájaḥ te akran
Indra, though smitten, in the beginning sent forth this—vital strength, self-potent, undecaying: this is it for thee. By it do thou live on through autumns, fair in radiance; let it not stream upon thee—(for) the healers have wrought (the cure) for thee.
Indra, walau terluka, pada mulanya telah melepaskan ini—tenaga hayat, kuasa yang berdiri sendiri, tidak lapuk: inilah untukmu. Dengan itu hiduplah engkau melalui musim-musim luruh, berseri indah; janganlah ia mengalir menimpamu—kerana para tabib telah mengerjakan (penawar) untukmu.
Rishi: Unspecified here (to be confirmed from the AV Śaunaka Anukramaṇī for 2.29).
Devata: Indra (as originator of the remedy) and the personified remedial power (etā́/ūrjā́/svadhā́ as feminine ‘she’).
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh (to be verified by metrical count against Śaunaka padapāṭha).
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
