Sukta 5
अनुगच्छन्ती प्राणानुप दासयति ब्रह्मगवी ब्रह्मज्यस्य
anugácchantī prāṇā́n úpa dāsayati brahma-gávī brahma-jyásya
Following after, she brings the breaths into bondage—(the) brahma-cow, (the doom) of the brahma-violator.
ਪਿੱਛੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਲੱਗ ਕੇ ਉਹ ਪ੍ਰਾਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬੰਧਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ—ਬ੍ਰਹ્મਗਵੀ, ਬ੍ਰਹ્મਜ੍ਯ (ਬ੍ਰਹ્મ ਦਾ ਉਲੰਘਣ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ) ਲਈ ਦੰਡ/ਵਿਨਾਸ਼।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa (hymn-level).
Devata: Brahman (as sacral order) and the punitive affliction tied to brahmajya; implicitly the moral force enforcing brahman.
Chandas: Uncertain from excerpt; hymn section is metrically heterogeneous.
