Mantra 30
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the Br̥haspati/Brahmaṇaspati hymn-complex; specific ṛṣi attribution for VS 3.30 requires the anuvāka metadata.
Devata: Brahmaṇaspati (Br̥haspati).
Chandas: Not determinable with certainty from the single extracted line; likely a Jagatī/Triṣṭubh-family cadence typical of Br̥haspati formulas, but requires full pada-count verification.
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
मा न॒: शᳪसो॒ अर॑रुषो धू॒र्तिः प्रण॒ङ मर्त्य॑स्य । रक्षा॑ णो ब्रह्मणस्पते
Transliteration
mā naḥ śáṃso aráruṣo dhū́rtiḥ prá-naṅ mártyasya | rákṣā no brahmaṇaspate
Translation
మా స్తుతి వాక్యం వికృతమవకూడదు; ఉగ్ర మానవుని ధూర్తత కూడా మమ్మల్ని వినాశానికి నడిపించకూడదు. హే బ్రహ్మణస్పతే! మమ్మల్ని రక్షించు.
