Mantra 14
Rishi: Traditional Aśvamedha-anukramaṇī attribution (often treated as ritual/anonymous rather than a single ṛṣi); later tradition associates the Vājasaneyin corpus with Yājñavalkya
Devata: Aśva (sacrificial horse) identified with Yama/Āditya/Trita; ultimately Prajāpati/Āditya-bandhu
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (predominant cadence; mixed/irregularities possible in transmitted accent-text)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
असि॑ य॒मो अस्या॑दि॒त्यो अ॑र्व॒न्नसि॑ त्रि॒तो गुह्ये॑न व्र॒तेन॑ । असि॒ सोमे॑न स॒मया॒ विपृ॑क्त आ॒हुस्ते॒ त्रीणि॑ दि॒वि बन्ध॑नानि
Transliteration
ási yámo asyā́dityo arván asi tritó guhyéna vraténa | ási sómena samáyā vípṛkta āhús te trī́ṇi diví bándhanāni
Translation
ท่านคือยมะ (Yama); ท่านคืออาทิตยะ (Āditya). โอ้ม้าผู้ประเสริฐ ท่านคือทฤตะ (Trita) ด้วยวัตรอันเร้นลับ. ท่านถูกแยกไว้ร่วมกับโสมะ (Soma) ในกาลอันกำหนด; เขาทั้งหลายกล่าวถึงท่านว่า “พันธนาการของท่านในสวรรค์มีสามประการ”
