Mantra 23
Rishi: Traditional: Ṛgvedic attribution underlying VS 12 (Agni hymnic strata; specific r̥ṣi to be confirmed against the Vājasaneyī anukramaṇī for 12.23).
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; to be metrically verified against pada counts and cadence).

Translation
ผู้เป็นธงชัยแห่งสรรพสิ่ง ผู้เป็นครรภ์แห่งโลก ครั้นบังเกิดแล้วก็เติมเต็มสองแดน คือฟ้าและแผ่นดิน แม้ป้อมอันแข็งกล้า แม้ศิลาก็ยังผ่าได้เมื่อท่านแล่นไปข้างหน้า เมื่อมนุษย์—ชนห้าหมู่—บูชายัญแด่อัคนี (Agni)
