Rig Veda 5.52.16Mandala 5, Sukta 52, Mantra 16

Sukta 5.52

Rishi: Atri (Atraya tradition) — commonly associated with Mandala 5 hymns
Devata: Maruts with explicit Rudra/Pṛśni parentage; Rudra named as father, Pṛśni as mother
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable for RV 5.52; verse-level confirmation recommended)

प्र ये मे बन्ध्वेषे गां वोचन्त सूरयः पृश्निं वोचन्त मातरम् । अधा पितरमिष्मिणं रुद्रं वोचन्त शिक्वसः ॥

prá yé me bandhv-eṣé gā́m vócanta sūráyaḥ pṛ́śnim vócanta mātáram | ádhā pitáram iṣmíṇaṁ rudráṁ vócanta śíkvasāḥ ||

Ke hadapan mereka menyatakan kepadaku—mereka yang mencari pertalian dalam Kebenaran—“Lembu”, demikian mereka mengisytiharkan; Pṛśni mereka isytiharkan sebagai Sang Ibu. Kemudian mereka mengisytiharkan Sang Bapa, Rudra yang menggerakkan, para perkasa yang bertutur dengan ilham.
