Sukta 13
यां त्वा॑ दे॒वा असृ॑जन्त॒ विश्व॒ इषुं॑ कृण्वा॒ना अस॑नाय धृ॒ष्णुम्। सा नो॑ मृड वि॒दथे॑ गृणा॒ना तस्यै॑ ते॒ नमो॑ अस्तु देवि
yā́m tvā́ devā́ asṛ́janta víśva íṣuṁ kṛṇvāná asanā́ya dhṛṣṇúm | sā́ no mṛḍa vidáthé gṛṇānā́s tásyai te námo astu devi ||
Thee whom the Gods, yea all of them, sent forth—fashioning thee a missile, bold to be hurled for smiting—be gracious unto us, while in the rite we hymn thee: to her, to thee, be reverence; homage be, O Goddess.
Тебя, кого боги — все до единого — выпустили вперёд, сделав тебя стрелой, дерзновенной, чтобы метать на поражение, — будь к нам милостива, пока в обряде (vidatha) мы воспеваем тебя. Ей — тебе — да будет поклон; да будет тебе почитание, о Богиня.
Rishi: Uncertain here from the isolated verse; commonly Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa attribution is typical for early protective hymns (needs hymn-level anukramaṇī confirmation).
Devata: Iṣu (the Missile/Arrow) personified as Devī; implicitly backed by Viśve Devāḥ.
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh (based on cadence and length; requires pada syllable count on full hymn context for certainty).
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
