Rig Veda 3.5.7: Mandala 3, Sukta 5, Mantra 7

Sukta 3.5

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina (attributed for RV 3.5 in the Viśvāmitra maṇḍala tradition)
Devata: Agni (with implicit dyāvā-pṛthivī as supporting powers)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 3.5; verse length and cadence align with triṣṭubh usage in this hymn-group)

आ योनिमग्निर्घृतवन्तमस्थात्पृथुप्रगाणमुशन्तमुशानः । दीद्यानः शुचिॠष्वः पावकः पुनःपुनर्मातरा नव्यसी कः ॥

ā yóniṃ agnír ghṛtávantam asthāt pṛthúpragāṇam uśántam uśānáḥ | dī́dyānaḥ śúciḥ ṛ́ṣvaḥ pā́vakaḥ púnaḥ-punar mā́tarā návyasī kaḥ ||

อัคนีได้ตั้งมั่นในครรภ์ (yoni) อันเปี่ยมด้วยฆีคือแสงใส; บทสวดนำหน้าของท่านกว้างไกล ท่านปรารถนา และเป็นเปลวเพลิงผู้ปรารถนาเอง. ผู้ส่องประกาย ผู้บริสุทธิ์ ผู้สูงส่ง ผู้ชำระล้าง—ท่านทำให้ “มารดาทั้งสอง” ใหม่อยู่เสมอ ครั้งแล้วครั้งเล่า; ใครเล่าจะวัดได้?
