Mantra 49
Rishi: Traditionally attributed within the royal/protective mantra strata (Anukramaṇī attribution varies; often treated as ‘yājñika’/ritual corpus rather than a single ṛṣi)
Devata: Soma and Aditi (with an initial protective epithet ‘Ṛjīta’ functioning as guardian-invocation)
Chandas: Mixed; pragmatically used as a protective yajus-formula (not strictly metrical like Ṛgvedic verses)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
ऋजी॑ते॒ परि॑ वृङ्धि॒ नोऽश्मा॑ भवतु नस्त॒नूः । सोमो॒ अधि॑ ब्रवीतु॒ नोऽदि॑ति॒: शर्म॑ यच्छतु
Transliteration
ṛ́jīte pári vṛṅdhi no’śmā́ bhavatu nas tanū́ḥ | sómo ádhi bravītu no’dítiḥ śárma yacchatu
Translation
ఓ ఋజీతే (నేరుగా సాగువాడా), మమ్మల్ని చుట్టుముట్టి వృద్ధి చేసి బలపరచు; మా తనువుకు రక్షగా అశ్మ (రాతి-ప్రాకారం) కావాలి. సోముడు మా పక్షాన పలుకుగాక; అదితి మాకు శర్మ (ఆశ్రయం) ప్రసాదించుగాక.
