Rig Veda 1.183.6: Mandala 1, Sukta 183, Mantra 6

Sukta 1.183

Rishi: Agastya (traditional attribution for this Aśvin hymn-cluster; internal evidence: explicit mention ‘agastye’ in 1.184.5)

Devata: Aśvinau (Nāsatyā), twin divine helpers

Chandas: Jagatī (probable; needs confirmation against pada-count in a critical metrical scan)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अतारिष्म तमसस्पारमस्य प्रति वां स्तोमो अश्विनावधायि । एह यातं पथिभिर्देवयानैर्विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥

Transliteration

atā́riṣma támasas pā́ram asyá práti vām stómó aśvināv adhāyi | eha yā́taṃ pathíbhir deva-yā́nair vidyā́meṣáṃ vṛjánaṃ jīrá-dānum ||

Translation

Kami telah menyeberangi kegelapan ini hingga ke tebing seberangnya; sebagai balasan, sebuah stoma (madah pujian) ditegakkan untukmu, wahai Aśvin. Datanglah ke mari melalui jalan-jalan devayāna, agar kami menemukan dorongan kelimpahan, pembukaan halangan, dan kuasa yang pantas memberi dengan segera.
