Sukta 35
य॒ज्ञस्य॒ चक्षुः॒ प्रभृ॑ति॒र्मुखं॑ च वा॒चा श्रोत्रे॑ण॒ मन॑सा जुहोमि । इ॒मं य॒ज्ञं वित॑तं वि॒श्वक॑र्म॒णा दे॒वा य॑न्तु सुमन॒स्यमा॑नाः
yajñásya cákṣuḥ prábhṛtir múkhaṃ ca vācā́ śrótreṇa mánasā juhomi | imáṃ yajñáṃ vítataṃ viśvákarmāṇā devā́ yántu sumanasyámānāḥ ||
With speech, with hearing, with the mind I offer—the Sacrifice’s eye, its first beginning, and its mouth. Unto this Sacrifice, spread forth and duly fashioned by Viśvakarman, let the Gods come, graciously and of kindly thought.
வாக்கால், கேள்வியால், மனத்தால் நான் ஆஹுதி செலுத்துகிறேன்—யஜ்ஞத்தின் கண், அதன் முதல் தொடக்கம், அதன் வாய். விஶ்வகர்மா விரித்து முறையாக அமைத்த இந்த யஜ்ஞத்திற்குள் தேவர்கள் சுமனத்துடன், நல்விருப்பத்துடன் வருக.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī for this section; often treated as a general yajña-prayoga verse).
Devata: Viśvakarman and the collective Devāḥ (as recipients/approachers of the rite).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (Atharvanic mixed meters occur; this verse scans closer to a triṣṭubh/jagatī style rather than anuṣṭubh).
Primary: shanta
Secondary: adbhuta
