Rig Veda 6.52.1 — Mandala 6, Sukta 52, Mantra 1
Sukta 6.52
Rishi: Bharadvāja (Bārhaspatya) tradition (Mandala 6 affiliation; hymn to Viśve Devāḥ)
Devata: Viśve Devāḥ (All the Gods) with polemical focus against the brahma-dviṣ (hater of sacred word) across the hymn
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (dominant in Mandala 6; this verse conforms to triṣṭubh cadence)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
न तद्दिवा न पृथिव्यानु मन्ये न यज्ञेन नोत शमीभिराभिः । उब्जन्तु तं सुभ्वः पर्वतासो नि हीयतामतियाजस्य यष्टा ॥
Transliteration
ná tád divā́ ná pṛthivyā́ ánu manye ná yajñéna nóta śamī́bhir ābhíḥ | ubjántu táṃ subhvàḥ párvatāso ní hīyatām atiyā́jasya yaṣṭā́ ||
Translation
నేను దానిని ద్యౌ (ఆకాశం) యొక్క ఎత్తుతోనూ, పృథివీ (భూమి) యొక్క విస్తారంతోనూ కొలవను; యజ్ఞ విధానాలతోనూ కాదు, ఈ శమీకర (శాంతికర) క్రియలతోనూ కాదు. సుదృఢమైన, దీప్తిమంతమైన శక్తులు—ఈ ‘పర్వతాలు’—అతనిని నొక్కివేయుగాక; అతియాజకుడు, మార్గభ్రష్ట యష్టా (అతి-యజ్ఞకర్త) పతనమగుగాక, అతని బలం క్షీణించుగాక.
