Sukta 84
Sukta 5.84
Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
Этот краткий гимн Атри обращён к стремительной, странствующей силе, которую славят ночные песнопения; её восхваляют за то, что она выводит вперёд полноту и мощь, подобно ржущему боевому коню. Стих звучит как образный призыв: он «взывает» к движущемуся сиянию/бурной энергии (именуемой или обозначаемой эпитетом Арджуни), чтобы она явила для почитателя силу, разгон, победный напор и изобильное благополучие.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arjunī appears as a name or epithet for a swift, roaming power. From the verse alone, she seems linked to wind/storm-like movement and luminous force, but the exact deity identification needs hymn-level confirmation.
It suggests the praise is performed in the night or in a nocturnal ritual setting. The hymn frames the chant itself as an effective action that calls the roaming power to respond.
It compares the deity’s force to a war-horse surging forward—symbolizing speed, courage, and winning power (vāja). The hymn asks for that same forward-driving energy to manifest for the worshipper.
