Rig Veda 10.130.4: Mandala 10, Sukta 130, Mantra 4

Sukta 10.130

Rishi: Unknown/Anukramaṇī tradition varies for RV 10.130; commonly associated with late (10th maṇḍala) ritual-speculative seers

Devata: Primarily a metrical-cosmic mapping of deities and chandas (Agni, Savitṛ, Soma, Bṛhaspati) rather than a single devatā

Chandas: Mixed/Meta-metrical verse describing Gāyatrī, Uṣṇih, Anuṣṭubh, Bṛhatī; the mantra itself is in a longer mixed cadence typical of RV 10 speculative hymns

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अग्नेर्गायत्र्यभवत्सयुग्वोष्णिहया सविता सं बभूव । अनुष्टुभा सोम उक्थैर्महस्वान्बृहस्पतेर्बृहती वाचमावत् ॥

అగ్నిలోనుండి గాయత్రీ ఉద్భవించింది—తన యుగంలో (సంయోగంలో) యుక్తమై; ఉష్ణిహ్‌తో సవితా సంపూర్ణ సంయోగానికి వచ్చాడు. అనుష్టుభ్‌తో సోముడు ఉక్థాలచే మహిమవంతుడవుతాడు; మరియు బృహస్పతినుండి బృహతీ మనలోని విశాల వాక్కును ధారించింది.
