Adhyaya 15 Mantra 24 - Shukla Yajurveda | Thai | Vedapath

Various Rishis

Mantra 24

Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within Agni-hymn lineages (Āṅgirasa/Bhṛgu associations are prominent in this cluster); Śukla-Yajurveda transmission often leaves ṛṣi implicit for borrowed Ṛgvedic material

Devata: Agni (with Uṣas as the correlated cosmic partner in the imagery)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (by structure and cadence typical of RV-style triṣṭubh)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अबो॑ध्य॒ग्निः स॒मिधा॒ जना॑नां॒ प्रति॑ धे॒नुमि॑वाय॒तीमु॒षास॑म् । य॒ह्वा इव॒ प्र व॒यामु॒ज्जिहा॑ना॒: प्र भा॒नव॑: सिस्रते॒ नाक॒मच्छ॑

Transliteration

ābó̄dhyāgníḥ samídhā́ janā́nām práti dhénum ivāyātím uṣā́sām | yahvā́ iva prá vayā́m ujjíhānāḥ prá bhā́navaḥ sisrate nā́kam áccha

Translation

อัคนีถูกปลุกให้ตื่นด้วยเชื้อไฟของมนุษย์ทั้งหลาย ก้าวไปต้อนรับอุษัสประหนึ่งต้อนรับโคนม. ดุจม้าศึกผู้กระตือรือร้นแลบลิ้นออก รัศมีของท่านหลั่งไหลพุ่งไป สู่เพดานฟ้า.
