Mantra 58
Rishi: Tradition attributes many VS Soma-formulas to the Yājñavalkya-line; specific ṛṣi ascription for this mantra is not explicit in the Saṃhitā.
Devata: Viśve Devāḥ; with explicit Rudra and Vāta; and Pitaraḥ Nārāśaṃsāḥ as recipients by extension.
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like yajus-formula (not a strict ṛgvedic meter).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
विश्वे॑ दे॒वाश्च॑म॒सेषून्नी॒तो ऽसु॒र्होमा॒योद्य॑तो रु॒द्रो हू॒यमा॑नो॒ वातो॒ऽभ्यावृ॑त्तो नृ॒चक्षा॒: प्रति॑ख्यातो भ॒क्षो भ॒क्ष्यमा॑णः पि॒तरो॑ नाराश॒ᳪसाः
Transliteration
víśve devā́ś camaséṣūnnī́to ’súr hómāyódyato rudró hūyámāno vā́to ’bhyā́vṛtto nṛcákṣāḥ prátikhyāto bhákṣo bhákṣyamāṇaḥ pitáro nārāśaṃsā́ḥ
Translation
เทพทั้งปวงถูกยกขึ้นในถ้วย (camasa); อสุ—ลมหายใจแห่งชีวิต—ถูกยกขึ้นเพื่อการบูชา. เมื่อรุทระถูกอัญเชิญ และเมื่อวาตะ (Vāta, ลม) ถูกหันกลับ ผู้เห็นมนุษย์ (nṛcakṣas) ก็ปรากฏชัด: เมื่ออาหารถูกกิน—แม้บรรพชน (Pitṛ) และนาราศังสะ (Nārāśaṃsa) ก็ด้วย.
