Dashati 7
Agni as the victorious, wealth-bestowing sacrificial power who destroys impediments and brings prayer’s fruit (offspring, prosperity) to the yajamāna.
Agni (Jātavedas)
Uplifting and forceful—protective victory-oriented praise with a bright (śukra) sacrificial tone.
Ṛṣi not supplied; identification requires concordance with the underlying Ṛgvedic source hymn(s) and the Sāmavedic anukramaṇī. Many Agni/Indra verses in this region commonly trace to established RV families but this dashati cannot be safely assigned without mapping.
Agni (Jātavedas) dipuji sebagai kuasa korban yang menang: dinyalakan oleh pujian (brahman/vipanyā) dan persembahan (āhuti), menghancurkan segala penghalang dan penentang, meneguhkan yajña, lalu menganugerahkan draviṇa (kekayaan) serta prajā (keturunan) kepada yajamāna. Sebagai pelengkap Aindra, Indra (Śatakratu, Maghavān) diseru agar meneguhkan vajra untuk menundukkan musuh, melindungi kejayaan upacara, dan mengukuhkan keberhasilan yang berpanjangan.
