Mantra 30
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the Br̥haspati/Brahmaṇaspati hymn-complex; specific ṛṣi attribution for VS 3.30 requires the anuvāka metadata.
Devata: Brahmaṇaspati (Br̥haspati).
Chandas: Not determinable with certainty from the single extracted line; likely a Jagatī/Triṣṭubh-family cadence typical of Br̥haspati formulas, but requires full pada-count verification.
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
मा न॒: शᳪसो॒ अर॑रुषो धू॒र्तिः प्रण॒ङ मर्त्य॑स्य । रक्षा॑ णो ब्रह्मणस्पते
Transliteration
mā naḥ śáṃso aráruṣo dhū́rtiḥ prá-naṅ mártyasya | rákṣā no brahmaṇaspate
Translation
Xin đừng để lời tán tụng bị lệch lạc, cũng đừng để mưu trá của kẻ phàm nhân cuồng nộ, đưa chúng con đến chỗ diệt vong. Hỡi Brahmaṇaspati, Chúa tể của thánh ngôn, xin hộ trì chúng con.
