Dashati 7
Agni as the victorious, wealth-bestowing sacrificial power who destroys impediments and brings prayer’s fruit (offspring, prosperity) to the yajamāna.
Agni (Jātavedas)
Uplifting and forceful—protective victory-oriented praise with a bright (śukra) sacrificial tone.
Ṛṣi not supplied; identification requires concordance with the underlying Ṛgvedic source hymn(s) and the Sāmavedic anukramaṇī. Many Agni/Indra verses in this region commonly trace to established RV families but this dashati cannot be safely assigned without mapping.
Likely employed within Soma-liturgy as a praise-unit supporting unobstructed pressing and offering; precise viniyoga depends on śākhā-specific gāna/anukramaṇī mapping.
