Sukta 3
ह्वय॑न्तु त्वा प्रतिज॒नाः प्रति॑ मित्रा अ॑वृषत । इ॒न्द्रा॒ग्नी विश्वे॑ दे॒वास्ते वि॒शि क्षेम॑मदीधरन्
hvayántu tvā pratijanā́ḥ práti mitrā́ avṛ́ṣata | indrāgnī́ víśve devā́s te víśi kṣémam adīdharan
Let the folk in answer call thee; let friendly powers in answer rain thee favour. Indra and Agni, and all the Gods—these have within the clan established security fast.
Biarlah kaum memanggilmu sebagai jawapan; biarlah kuasa-kuasa sahabat menurunkan kepadamu kurnia sebagai jawapan. Indra dan Agni, dan semua para Dewa—merekalah yang di dalam klan menegakkan keselamatan dengan teguh.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (royal-acclamation complex; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Indrāgnī; Viśve Devāḥ; implicitly the social body (viś) as recipient-field of kṣema.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in AV royal and apotropaic materials; to be verified against pada count in a metrical pass).
Primary: shanta
Secondary: vira
