Sukta 110

Rishi: To be confirmed from AVŚ anukramaṇī (Agni–Indra hymn-type).

Devata: Agni–Indra

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; short pāda structure).

Himne ringkas yang bersifat kepahlawanan ini menyeru kekuatan berpasangan Agni–Indra sebagai pembunuh Vṛtra yang tidak tertandingi, untuk menghancurkan rintangan serta kuasa-kuasa bermusuhan demi penaung yang mempersembahkan korban. Ia memindahkan kemenangan kosmik purba mereka—memenangi cahaya dan menegakkan dunia-dunia—ke dalam kemenangan kini yang nyata dalam pertikaian. Undangan penutup memanggil Indra masuk ke dalam upacara di bawah pimpinan kependetaan Bṛhaspati, memeterai kehadiran ilahi dan dorongan menuju kemenangan.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is used to remove obstacles and subdue hostile forces by invoking Agni–Indra’s Vṛtra-slaying power, aiming at decisive victory for the patron.

Agni supplies the rite’s driving fire-power and consecration, while Indra supplies conquering force and the vajra; together they make the sacrifice ‘militant’ against resistance.

Verse 3 refers to the cup and the soma-presser, but the core obstacle-breaking force rests on invocation and fire-offering; many traditions use a symbolic cup if soma is not available.
