Sukta 7.46

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Rudra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

इमा रुद्राय स्थिरधन्वने गिरः क्षिप्रेषवे देवाय स्वधाव्ने । अषाळ्हाय सहमानाय वेधसे तिग्मायुधाय भरता शृणोतु नः ॥

imā́ rudrā́ya sthirá-dhanvane gíraḥ kṣipréṣave devā́ya svadhā́vne | aṣā́ḷhāya sáhamānāya vedháse tig máyudhāya bharatā śṛṇótu naḥ ||

These words bear toward Rudra of the steady bow, the swift-arrowed god who moves by his own power. To the unconquered, the enduring, the wise disposer, the one with keen weapons—carry (our prayer); may he hear us.
