Sukta 13
आदित् प॑श्याम्यु॒त वा॑ शृणो॒म्या मा॒ घोषो॑ गच्छति॒ वाङ् मा॑साम्। मन्ये॑ भेजा॒नो अ॒मृत॑स्य तर्हि॒ हिर॑ण्यवर्णा॒ अतृ॑पं य॒दा वः॑
ā́d ít paśyāmy utá vā́ śṛṇomy ā́ mā ghóṣo gacchati vā́ṅ mā āsā́m | mányे bhajā́nó amṛ́tasya tárhi híraṇyavarṇā́ átr̥paṁ yadā́ vaḥ
Now, indeed, I see; yea, I hear: to me comes sound—speech comes to me—from these. I deem that then I partake of immortality, O golden-hued ones, when I, erst unsated, have you.
Nay quả thật ta thấy; lại cũng nghe: âm vang đến với ta—lời nói (Vāc) từ những điều này đến với ta. Ta nghĩ rằng: hỡi các đấng sắc vàng, khi ta—kẻ xưa chưa thỏa—được có các Ngài, thì khi ấy ta dự phần vào sự bất tử (amṛta).
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (unspecified)
Devata: Āpas (golden-coloured waters) as bearers of amṛta
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh with Atharvanic flexibility; exact scan uncertain
Primary: adbhuta
