Mantra 14
Sukta 7
उपहव्यं विषूवन्तं ये च यज्ञा गुहा हिताः । बिभर्ति भर्ता विश्वस्योच्छिष्टो जनितुः पिता
upahávyàṃ viṣūvántaṃ yé ca yajñā́ guhā́ hitā́ḥ | bíbharti bhartā́ víśvasyócchiṣṭó janitúḥ pitā́
The subsidiary invocation, the Vishūvant rite, and whatsoever sacrifices are laid away in secret—Ucchiṣṭa, the Upholder of the All, beareth them: he is the Father of the Begetter.
ਉਪਹਵ੍ਯ (ਉਪ-ਆਹ੍ਵਾਨ), ਵਿੂਵੰਤ ਵਿਧੀ, ਅਤੇ ਜੋ ਯੱਗ ਗੁਫ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੁਪਤ ਰੱਖੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ—ਉਹ ਸਭ ਸਰਵ-ਧਾਰਕ ਉੱਛਿਸ਼ਟ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ; ਉਹ ਜਨਿਤਾ ਦਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਹੈ।
Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic seers (Ucchiṣṭa-hymn complex; r̥ṣi attribution varies in ancillary lists)
Devata: Ucchiṣṭa (personified Remnant/Residue as cosmic principle)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed/irregular in this hymn section; often treated as triṣṭubh in practice)
