Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.3.4

śyéno havyáṃ nayatvā́ párasmād anyakṣétré ’páruddhaṃ cárantam | aśvínā pánthā́ṃ kṛṇutāṃ sugáṃ ta imáṃ sajātā abhisaṃvíśadhvam ||

Let the Hawk convey the offering hither from afar—him who, moving to and fro, is held fast in another’s field. O Aśvins, make ye for him a path well-going: do ye, his birth-mates, enter together unto this one (and so be reunited).

Biarlah Syena (elang) membawa persembahan ini ke mari dari jauh—dia yang, berjalan ke sana ke mari, tertahan di ladang orang lain. Wahai Aśvin, jadikan baginya jalan yang mudah dilalui; wahai para sajāta (sekelahiran), masuklah bersama ke dalam diri orang ini, agar bersatu kembali.

Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution (as typical for AV retrieval and protection formulae; specific r̥ṣi assignment depends on the anukramaṇī tradition for AV 3.3).

Devata: Śyena (as messenger-force) and the Aśvins (as rescuing healers/path-makers).

Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (AV triṣṭubh/jagatī admixture is possible by recension; confirm by pada count in metrical analysis).

Primary: adbhuta

Secondary: vira
