Various Rishis

Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 27, Mantra 25

Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within Ka-hymn transmission to Prajāpati/Ka theology (ṛṣi-attribution varies in ancillary indices).

Devata: Ka (Prajāpati) through the refrain; explicitly also Āpaḥ and Agni in the narrative frame.

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (by cadence and pāda-length typical of the Ka-sūkta style).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

आपो॑ ह॒ यद्बृ॑ह॒तीर्विश्व॒माय॒न् गर्भं॒ दधा॑ना ज॒नय॑न्तीर॒ग्निम् । ततो॑ दे॒वाना॒ᳪ सम॑वर्त॒तासु॒रेक॒: कस्मै॑ दे॒वाय॑ ह॒विषा॑ विधेम

Transliteration

ā́po ha yád bṛhatī́r víśvam ā́yan gárbhaṃ dádhānā janáyantīr agním | táto devā́nāṃ sám avartatā́sur ékaḥ kásmai devā́ya havíṣā vidhema

Translation

உண்மையாகவே, வலிமைமிக்க ஆபः அனைத்துலகையும் வியாபித்தபோது, தம்முள் கருவைத் தாங்கி அக்னியைப் பிறப்பித்தன; அப்பொழுது அவற்றிலிருந்தே தேவர்களின் கூட்டம் தோன்றியது. அந்த ஒரே தேவனுக்காக—எந்த தேவனுக்காக—நாம் ஹவிஸால் யஜனம் செய்வோம்?
