Sukta 26
इ॒मं गो॒ष्ठं प॒शवः॒ सं स्र॑वन्तु॒ बृह॒स्पति॒रा न॑यतु प्रजा॒नन्। सि॒नी॒वा॒ली न॑य॒त्वाग्र॑मेषामाज॒ग्मुषो॑ अनुमते॒ नि य॑छ
imáṃ góṣṭhaṃ paśávaḥ sáṃ srávantu bṛ́haspátir ā́ nayatu prajā́nān | sinīvālī́ nayatv ágram eṣām ājagmúṣo anumate ní yaccha ||
Into this cattle-stall let the beasts stream all together: let Bṛhaspati, who knoweth the creatures, lead them hither. Let Sinīvālī lead on the foremost of them; and, O Anumati, those that have come—hold them fast herein.
ఈ పశుగృహంలో పశువులు అన్నీ కలిసి ప్రవాహంలా వచ్చి చేరుగాక. ప్రాణులను తెలిసిన బృహస్పతి వారిని ఇక్కడికి నడిపించుగాక. సినీవాలీ వారిలో ముందువారిని ముందుకు నడిపించుగాక; హే అనుమతి, వచ్చినవారిని ఇక్కడే దృఢంగా నిలుపుము (ఆపి ఉంచుము).
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted without a single fixed ṛṣi attribution in practical sūktas; commonly classed under Atharvan/Angiras milieu)
Devata: Bṛhaspati; Sinīvālī; Anumati (with paśu-saṃgraha as the pragmatic focus)
Chandas: Mixed/Pragātha-like cadence; functionally treated as a two-pāda verse in Atharvanic ritual recitation (often aligned to Anuṣṭubh tendencies in practice)
Primary: shanta
Secondary: adbhuta
