Rig Veda 1.183.6: Mandala 1, Sukta 183, Mantra 6

Sukta 1.183

Rishi: Agastya (traditional attribution for this Aśvin hymn-cluster; internal evidence: explicit mention ‘agastye’ in 1.184.5)

Devata: Aśvinau (Nāsatyā), twin divine helpers

Chandas: Jagatī (probable; needs confirmation against pada-count in a critical metrical scan)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अतारिष्म तमसस्पारमस्य प्रति वां स्तोमो अश्विनावधायि । एह यातं पथिभिर्देवयानैर्विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥

Translation

เราทั้งหลายได้ข้ามพ้นความมืดนี้ไปถึงฝั่งไกลแล้ว; เพื่อสนองสิ่งนั้น บทสรรเสริญอันยืนยันได้ถูกตั้งถวายแด่ท่านทั้งสอง—อัศวินทั้งคู่. ขอเสด็จมาด้วยหนทางที่เหล่าเทพสัญจร เพื่อให้เราพบแรงเร่งแห่งความบริบูรณ์ การเปิดทางแห่งสิ่งกีดขวาง และพลังแห่งการประทานอันรวดเร็ว.
