Mantra 28
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the Śukla-Yajurvedic Adhvaryu lineage (often transmitted under Yājñavalkya’s school authority rather than a single ṛṣi attribution for such operational formulas)
Devata: Agni (as Vratapati)
Chandas: Yajus (prose formula; not a fixed metrical chandas)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
अग्ने॑ व्रतपते व्र॒तम॑चारिषं॒ तद॑शकं॒ तन्मे॑ऽराधी॒दम॒हं य ए॒वास्मि॒ सो॒ऽस्मि
Transliteration
ágnē vratapatē vratám acāriṣaṃ tád aśakaṃ tán mē ’rādhī́d amáhaṃ yá ēvā́smí só ’smí
Translation
அக்னியே, விரதபதே! நான் விரதத்தை அனுஷ்டித்தேன்; அதை நான் நிறைவேற்ற இயன்றது. அது எனக்குச் சித்தியாக/வெற்றியாக அமையட்டும். நான் அதுவே—நான் உண்மையில் எதுவோ, அதுவே நான்.
