Rig Veda 6.3.8: Mandala 6, Sukta 3, Mantra 8

Sukta 6.3

Rishi: Bharadvāja (Bārhaspatya)

Chandas: Trishtubh (probable)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

धायोभिर्वा यो युज्येभिरर्कैर्विद्युन्न दविद्योत्स्वेभिः शुष्मैः । शर्धो वा यो मरुतां ततक्ष ऋभुर्न त्वेषो रभसानो अद्यौत् ॥

Transliteration

dhāyóbhir vā yó yújyebhir arkáir vidyún na davidyót svébhīḥ śúṣmaiḥ | śárdho vā yó marútāṃ tatákṣa ṛbhúr na tvéṣo rabhasā́nó ádyaut ||

Translation

Hoặc nhờ những năng lực nâng đỡ và những thánh ca (arka) được ghép vào ách, Ngài lóe sáng như tia chớp bằng chính các uy lực của mình; hoặc Ngài đã rèn đúc đoàn quân của các Marut—như một Ṛbhu, sắc bén và mau lẹ—hôm nay Ngài đã bừng sáng hiện ra.
