Mantra 28
Rishi: Traditionally connected with the Agnicayana seers (ṛṣayaḥ pūrve); in Vājasaneyin transmission often subsumed under Yājñavalkya’s redactional authority
Devata: Cosmic ordering powers; implicitly Prajāpati/Agni as the ordered totality
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (predominant cadence)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
त आऽय॑जन्त॒ द्रवि॑ण॒ᳪ सम॑स्मा॒ ऋष॑य॒: पूर्वे॑ जरि॒तारो॒ न भू॒ना । अ॒सूर्ते॒ सूर्ते॒ रज॑सि निष॒त्ते ये भू॒तानि॑ स॒मकृ॑ण्वन्नि॒मानि॑
Transliteration
tá ā́yajanta dráviṇaṃ sámasmā ṛ́ṣayaḥ pū́rve jaritā́ro ná bhū́nā | asū́rte sū́rte rájasi niṣatté yé bhūtā́ni samákṛṇvann imā́ni
Translation
เขาทั้งหลายได้ประกอบยัญเพื่อท่านนั้น—ฤๅษี (ṛṣi) โบราณ ผู้สรรเสริญในกาลก่อน มิได้ขัดสนทรัพย์ ได้ถวายทรัพย์ (dravina) แด่ท่าน. ในสิ่งที่ยังไม่ก่อรูปและสิ่งที่ก่อรูปแล้ว ผู้ประทับอยู่ในรชัส (rajas) คือผู้ที่รวบรวมและประสานสรรพสัตว์เหล่านี้ให้เป็นหนึ่งเดียว.
