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
All the Gods are lifted up in the cups; the vital breath is raised for oblation. Rudra, being invoked, and Vāta, turned back, the Man-beholding one, is made manifest: the food, being eaten—(even) the Fathers, the Nārāśaṃsas.
