Adhyaya 35 Mantra 10 - Shukla Yajurveda | Tamil | Vedapath

Various Rishis

Mantra 10

Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Vājasaneyin transmission (often linked to Yājñavalkya’s school-lineage rather than a single ṛṣi-name for these late ritual formulas).

Devata: General auspicious transition; implicitly Prajāpati/Agni as the rite’s carrier; no single devatā explicitly named.

Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed/ritual prose-verse; to be metrically verified per pada-count).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अश्म॑न्वती रीयते॒ सᳪ र॑भध्व॒मुत्ति॑ष्ठत॒ प्र त॑रता॒ सखा॑यः । अत्रा॑ जही॒मोऽशि॑वा॒ ये अस॑ञ्छि॒वान्व॒यमुत्त॑रेमा॒भि वाजा॑न्

Transliteration

aśmánvatī rīyate sám rabhadhvam uttíṣṭhata prá taratā sákhāyaḥ | átrā jahī́mo’śívā yé ásañ chivā́n vayám uttáremā́bhi vā́jān

Translation

கற்களால் சூழப்பட்ட (நதி/ஓடை) வேகமாகப் பாய்கிறது—நீங்கள் அனைவரும் ஒன்றாய் உறுதியாகப் பற்றிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்; எழுந்து, முன்னே சென்று கடந்து செல்லுங்கள், ஓ தோழர்களே. இங்கே இருந்த அசிவ (அமங்கலம்) அனைத்தையும் நாம் விட்டுவிடுவோம்; சிவ (மங்கலம்) நோக்கி நாம் கடந்து, வாஜங்கள் (வெற்றி-பரிசுகள்) பெறுவோமாக.
