Adhyaya 15 Mantra 24 - Shukla Yajurveda | Tamil | Vedapath

Various Rishis

Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 15, Mantra 24

Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within Agni-hymn lineages (Āṅgirasa/Bhṛgu associations are prominent in this cluster); Śukla-Yajurveda transmission often leaves ṛṣi implicit for borrowed Ṛgvedic material

Devata: Agni (with Uṣas as the correlated cosmic partner in the imagery)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (by structure and cadence typical of RV-style triṣṭubh)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अबो॑ध्य॒ग्निः स॒मिधा॒ जना॑नां॒ प्रति॑ धे॒नुमि॑वाय॒तीमु॒षास॑म् । य॒ह्वा इव॒ प्र व॒यामु॒ज्जिहा॑ना॒: प्र भा॒नव॑: सिस्रते॒ नाक॒मच्छ॑

Transliteration

ābó̄dhyāgníḥ samídhā́ janā́nām práti dhénum ivāyātím uṣā́sām | yahvā́ iva prá vayā́m ujjíhānāḥ prá bhā́navaḥ sisrate nā́kam áccha

Translation

மனிதர்களின் சமிதால் அக்னி விழித்தெழுந்தான்; பால் தரும் பசுவை நோக்கி ஒருவர் செல்லுவது போல, அவன் உஷாவை எதிர்கொண்டு முன்னேறுகிறான். ஆவலான குதிரைகள் நாவை முன்னே தள்ளுவது போல, அவன் ஒளிக்கதிர்கள் பாய்ந்து, வானமண்டபத்தை நோக்கி வேகமாகச் செல்கின்றன.
