Rig Veda 5.47.1: Mandala 5, Sukta 47, Mantra 1

Sukta 5.47

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition) (book 5)
Devata: Ambiguous/poetic: a feminine power (often read as Uṣas or a maternal cosmic principle) and the Pitṛs; hymn moves into ancestral/cosmic imagery
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm in critical edition)

प्रयुञ्जती दिव एति ब्रुवाणा मही माता दुहितुर्बोधयन्ती । आविवासन्ती युवतिर्मनीषा पितृभ्य आ सदने जोहुवाना ॥
