Rig Veda 6.52.1: Mandala 6, Sukta 52, Mantra 1

Sukta 6.52

Rishi: Bharadvāja (Bārhaspatya) tradition (Mandala 6 affiliation; hymn to Viśve Devāḥ)

Devata: Viśve Devāḥ (All the Gods) with polemical focus against the brahma-dviṣ (hater of sacred word) across the hymn

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (dominant in Mandala 6; this verse conforms to triṣṭubh cadence)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

न तद्दिवा न पृथिव्यानु मन्ये न यज्ञेन नोत शमीभिराभिः । उब्जन्तु तं सुभ्वः पर्वतासो नि हीयतामतियाजस्य यष्टा ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 6.52.1

Transliteration

ná tád divā́ ná pṛthivyā́ ánu manye ná yajñéna nóta śamī́bhir ābhíḥ | ubjántu táṃ subhvàḥ párvatāso ní hīyatām atiyā́jasya yaṣṭā́ ||

Translation

Не меряю я этого ни высотою Неба, ни ширью Земли; ни жертвенными обрядами, ни даже этими умиротворяющими деяниями. Пусть прочные, светлые силы — «горы» — придавят того; пусть отпадёт, ослабевая, жрец-«пережертвователь», сбившийся приносящий жертву.
