Mantra 5
Sukta 92
अर्चत प्रार्चत प्रियमेधासो अर्चत । अर्चन्तु पुत्रका उत पुरं न धृष्ण्वऽर्चत
árcata prá́rcata priyámedhāso árcata | árcantu putrakā́ utá puráṃ ná dhṛ́ṣṇv àrcata ||
Chant ye, chant forth; O ye of welcome wisdom, chant ye. Let the sons chant also—yea, chant ye boldly, as one chants for the safeguarding of a stronghold.
Hãy tụng ca, hãy cất tụng ca; hỡi những người có trí tuệ đáng mến, hãy tụng ca. Nguyện các con trai cũng tụng ca—phải, hãy tụng ca dũng mãnh, như tụng để gìn giữ một thành lũy kiên cố.
Rishi: Traditionally aligned with RV-derived material in AV Book 20 (often RV seers; precise attribution for this verse follows RV Anukramaṇī tradition rather than Atharvanic).
Devata: Indra-context likely within the surrounding hymn; this verse functions as an exhortation to praise (stuti) rather than naming a single devatā explicitly.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (Book 20 often preserves RV meters; exact metrical scan may vary by pada division).
