Sukta 9
विजयाय प्रार्थना। अस्मिन् वसु वसवो धारयन्त्विन्द्रः पूषा वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः । इममादित्या उत विश्वे च देवा उत्तरस्मिन् ज्योतिषि धारयन्तु
asmín vásu vásavo dhārayantv índraḥ pūṣā váruṇo mitró agníḥ | imám ādityā utá víśve ca devā úttarasmín jyótiṣi dhārayantu ||
On this good (support) let the Vasus set firm; let Indra, Pūṣan, Varuṇa, Mitra, Agni—this (man/thing) let the Ādityas, yea and all the Gods, establish in the higher light.
ବିଜୟ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା: ଏହି ଶୁଭ ଆଧାରରେ ବସୁମାନେ ଦୃଢ଼ କରି ଧାରଣ କରନ୍ତୁ; ଇନ୍ଦ୍ର, ପୂଷନ, ବରୁଣ, ମିତ୍ର, ଅଗ୍ନି—ଏହାକୁ; ଆଦିତ୍ୟମାନେ ଏବଂ ସମସ୍ତ ଦେବମାନେ ଏହାକୁ ଉତ୍ତର (ଉଚ୍ଚତର) ଜ୍ୟୋତିରେ ସ୍ଥାପିତ କରନ୍ତୁ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often anonymous/collective for brief victory-formulas in AVŚ); specific attribution depends on the Anukramaṇī
Devata: Vasus; Indra; Pūṣan; Varuṇa; Mitra; Agni; Ādityas; Viśve Devāḥ (collective divine stabilization)
Chandas: Mixed/irregular; predominantly Tr̥ṣṭubh-like cadence in the first pāda with a concluding stabilizing refrain (edition-dependent scansion)
