Mantra 2

Rishi: Not explicitly rubricated in many śrauta manuals; associated with Soma-protective recitations.

Devata: Paṇi (as adversary, in expulsion), Yama (as allocator).

Chandas: Jagatī/triṣṭubh-mixed cadence (requires metrical verification; the transmitted lineation suggests a longer measure).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अपे॒तो य॑न्तु प॒णयोऽसु॑म्ना देवपी॒यव॑: । अ॒स्य लो॒कः सु॒ताव॑तः । द्युभि॒रहो॑भिर॒क्तुभि॒र्व्य॒क्तं य॒मो द॑दात्वव॒सान॑मस्मै

Transliteration

apetó yantu paṇáyo 'sumnā devapīyávaḥ | asyá lókaḥ sutā́vataḥ | dyúbhir áhobhir aktúbhir vyaktáṃ yamó dadātv avāsā́nam asmai

Translation

Departed hence, let the Paṇis go—ungracious, drinkers of the Gods’ (portion). This world belongs to him who hath pressed the Soma. By days, by day-and-nights, by nights, duly apportioned—let Yama assign unto him his resting-place, his appointed end.
