Mantra 41
Sukta 4
या वशा उदकल्पयन् देवा यज्ञादुदेत्य । तासां विलिप्त्यं भीमामुदाकुरुत नारदः
yā́ vaśā́ udákalpayan devā́ yajñā́d udétya | tā́sāṃ vilíptyaṃ bhīmā́m udā́kuruta nā́radaḥ ||
Those Vashās which the Gods, arising forth from sacrifice, did appoint,—of them Nārada made the dread ‘smearing’ (their marked condition).
诸神自祭祀中兴起而出，所安置的那些瓦沙（Vashā）——在她们之中，纳罗陀（Nārada）施作了那可怖的“涂抹”（vilipti），使其带上标记之相。
Rishi: Nārada is explicitly named as operative authority within the verse; r̥ṣi attribution may align with this naming.
Devata: Vashā-cows as sacralized beings; gods as instituting agents.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
