Sukta 4
व॒शा चर॑न्ती बहु॒धा दे॒वानां॒ निहि॑तो नि॒धिः । आ॒विष्कृ॑णुष्व रू॒पाणि॑ य॒दा स्थाम॒ जिघां॑सति
vaśā́ cárantī bahudhā́ devā́nāṃ níhito nidhíḥ | āviṣkṛṇuṣva rūpā́ṇi yadā́ sthā́m jíghāṃsati ||
The Vashā, roaming manifoldly, a treasure of the Gods laid up: reveal thy forms, whene’er the foe would smite.
వశా అనేక విధాలుగా సంచరిస్తుంది—దేవతలచే నిహితమైన నిధి (ఖజానా). శత్రువు కొట్టడానికి ఉద్ధతుడైనప్పుడు, నీ రూపాలను ప్రకటించు.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified here)
Devata: Vashā (personified as divine treasure); secondarily Devāḥ
