Sukta 39
दि॒व्याऽदि॒त्याय॒ सम॑नम॒न्त्स आ॑र्ध्नोत्। यथा॑ दि॒व्याऽदि॒त्याय॑ स॒मन॑मन्ने॒वा मह्यं॑ सं॒नमः॒ सं न॑मन्तु
divyā́ ’dityā́ya sám anamant sá ā́rdhnot | yáthā divyā́ ’dityā́ya sám anamann evá máhyaṁ saṁnámaḥ sáṁ namantu
The heavenly ones bowed in unison to Āditya; thereby he attained success. As the heavenly ones bowed to Āditya, so, even thus, let acts of homage bow together unto me.
Os celestes inclinaram-se em uníssono diante de Āditya; assim ele alcançou êxito. Como os celestes se inclinaram diante de Āditya, assim também, do mesmo modo, que todas as homenagens se inclinem juntas para mim, em concordância.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (edition-dependent Anukramaṇī attribution).
Devata: Āditya (Sun) as exemplar of sovereignty; secondarily ‘saṁnamaḥ’ (homage) as an operative abstraction.
Chandas: Atharvanic mixed meter; largely anuṣṭubh-like cola with prose flexibility.
Primary: shanta
Secondary: vira
