Sukta 27
पा॒टामिन्द्रो॒ व्याऽश्ना॒दसु॑रेभ्य॒ स्तरी॑तवे । प्राशं॒ प्रति॑प्राशो जह्यर॒सान् कृ॑ण्वोषधे
pāṭā́m índro ví aśnād ásurebhyaḥ stárītave | prāśáṃ práti-prāśo jahy arásān kṛ́ṇvoṣadhe ||
Let Indra eat the Pāṭā, to prevail against the Asuras. With dose confronting counter-dose, smite thou the sap-destroyers; make (us) whole, O Herb.
Nguyện Indra ăn Pāṭā để thắng vượt các Asura. Lấy dược đối dược, hãy đánh tan những kẻ hủy hoại nhựa sống; xin làm cho (chúng con) được nguyên vẹn, hỡi Oṣadhi (thảo dược).
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific ṛṣi attribution for AVŚ 2.27 varies by anukramaṇī; commonly treated as Atharvan/Angiras-type healing seers)
Devata: Pāṭā (Oṣadhi) with Indra as empowering divine model; hostile beings framed as Asuras/arasa-agents
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (11+11/8+8 style typical of AV healing verses; to be metrically confirmed against pada counts in the edition used)
Primary: adbhuta
