Where is the world of the kindly-hearted, the well-doers, the Agnihotra-offerers—unto that world, O Yamini, hast thou drawn nigh: may she not harm us, neither men nor cattle.
Gdzie jest świat ludzi o dobrych sercach, czyniących dobro, składających ofiarę Agnihotra, do tego świata, o Yamini, zbliżyłaś się: niech ona nie skrzywdzi nas, ani ludzi, ani bydła.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn-family attribution uncertain in this excerpt)
Devata: Yamini; the ‘loka’ of Agnihotra-offerers
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-like cadence (probable)
Primary: shanta
