Rig Veda 6.28.3: Mandala 6, Sukta 28, Mantra 3

Sukta 6.28

Rishi: Bharadvāja Bārhaspatya (traditional attribution for Mandala 6); for 6.28 specifically: Bharadvāja lineage hymn to the Cows
Devata: Gāvaḥ (Cows as luminous powers); implicitly Indra as Gopati/Protector in the hymn-context
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable pādas; standard for many RV 6 hymns)

न ता नशन्ति न दभाति तस्करो नासामामित्रो व्यथिरा दधर्षति । देवाँश्च याभिर्यजते ददाति च ज्योगित्ताभिः सचते गोपतिः सह ॥

ná tā́ naśanti ná dabhāti taskaráḥ ná āsām āmitró vyáthir ā dadharṣati | devā́ṃś ca yā́bhir yájate dádāti ca jyók it tā́bhiḥ sacate gó-patiḥ sahá ||

Elas não perecem; nenhum ladrão as engana; nenhum inimigo as domina, nenhum medo trêmulo as abate. Com essas mesmas potências com que se sacrifica aos deuses e também se dá, com elas o Gopati, Senhor das Vacas, permanece e se une para sempre.
