Adhyaya 31 Mantra 17 - Shukla Yajurveda | Tamil | Vedapath

Various Rishis

Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 31, Mantra 17

Rishi: Traditionally associated with Puruṣa/Nārāyaṇa-cosmology; in Vājasaneyin transmission often treated as anonymous/ādi-mantra complex rather than a single ṛṣi attribution.

Devata: Viśvakarman; Tvaṣṭṛ (as formal shaper); implicitly Prajāpati as the sacrificial totality.

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (dominant cadence; mixed/irregular in some recensional analyses).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अ॒द्भ्यः सम्भृ॑तः पृथिव्यै॒ रसा॑च्च वि॒श्वक॑र्मण॒: सम॑वर्त॒ताग्रे॑ । तस्य॒ त्वष्टा॑ वि॒दध॑द्रू॒पमे॑ति॒ तन्मर्त्य॑स्य देव॒त्वमा॒जान॒मग्रे॑

Transliteration

a̱dbhyáḥ sámbhṛtaḥ pṛthivyài rasá̄c ca viśvákarmāṇaḥ sám avartatá̄gre | tásya tváṣṭā vidádhad rūpám eti tán mártyasya devatvám ājánam ágre

Translation

நீரிலிருந்து தொகுக்கப்பட்டதும், பூமியின் ரசத்திலிருந்தும் (உண்டான) விஶ்வகர்மா ஆதியில் தோன்றினார். அவருடைய ரூபத்தை ஒழுங்குபடுத்தி த்வஷ்டா அதில் பிரவேசிக்கிறார்; அதுவே மானவனின் தேவத்துவம்—ஆரம்பத்திலிருந்தே இயல்பாகப் பிறந்தது.
