Sukta 54
अस्मै क्षत्रमग्नीषोमावस्मै धारयतं रयिम्। इमं राष्ट्रस्याभीवर्गे कृणुतं युज उत्तरम्
asmái kṣatrám agnī́ṣomāv asmái dhā́rayataṃ rayím | imáṃ rāṣṭrásyābhīvargé kṛṇutáṃ yúja úttaram
For him uphold ye royal might, O Agni-Soma; for him sustain ye wealth. In this realm’s on-rush and encounter make ye the yoked ally the upper, the victorious.
ହେ ଅଗ୍ନି-ସୋମ! ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କ୍ଷତ୍ରବଳ (ରାଜଶକ୍ତି) ଧାରଣ କର; ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଧନ-ସମ୍ପଦକୁ ଧାରି ରଖ। ଏହି ରାଷ୍ଟ୍ରର ଧାବା ଓ ସଂଘର୍ଷରେ, ଯୁକ୍ତ ମିତ୍ର-ସହାୟକକୁ ଉପରି—ବିଜୟୀ—କର।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (as typical for rāṣṭra- and kṣatra-formulas in AV 6; exact r̥ṣi assignment depends on Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Agni-Soma (dual)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; AV 6 commonly uses anuṣṭubh—confirm by syllable count in critical edition)
