Rig Veda 6.47.23: Mandala 6, Sukta 47, Mantra 23

Sukta 6.47

Rishi: Bharadvāja Bārhaspatya (traditional)

Devata: Indra (implicit, as the power behind the winning); patron Divodāsa named

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence possible; however within RV 6.47 sequence likely Triṣṭubh context—needs verse-metrical check

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

दशाश्वान्दश कोशान्दश वस्त्राधिभोजना । दशो हिरण्यपिण्डान्दिवोदासादसानिषम् ॥

Translation

Dziesięć rumaków, dziesięć skarbnic, dziesięć szat wraz z ich podtrzymującymi rozkoszami; dziesięć brył złota, od Divodāsy te zdobyliśmy. Nawet policzone miary zewnętrznego bogactwa ukazują wewnętrzną miarę: moce poruszania, trzymania, okrywania i podtrzymywania istoty.
