Rig Veda 5.84.2: Mandala 5, Sukta 84, Mantra 2
Sukta 5.84
Rishi: Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Devata: Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Chandas: Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
स्तोमासस्त्वा विचारिणि प्रति ष्टोभन्त्यक्तुभिः । प्र या वाजं न हेषन्तं पेरुमस्यस्यर्जुनि ॥

Translation
Những khúc tụng ca vang dội đến ngươi, hỡi kẻ lữ hành, bằng những công việc của đêm; ngươi phóng ra sự sung mãn của sức lực, hí vang như chiến mã—hỡi Arjunī, quyền năng nhanh nhẹn và rực sáng.
