Sukta 25
यद् वेद राजा वरुणो यद् वा देवी सरस्वती । यदिन्द्रो वृत्रहा वेद तद् गर्भकरणं पिब
yád véda rā́jā váruṇo yád vā́ devī́ sárasvatī | yád índro vṛtrahā́ véda tád gárbhakáraṇaṁ piba ||
What king Varuṇa knoweth, or what the goddess Sarasvatī; what Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, knoweth—drink thou that, the maker of the embryo.
凡王伐楼那(Varuṇa)所知,或女神萨拉斯瓦蒂(Sarasvatī)所知;凡因陀罗(Indra)——杀弗栗陀罗者(Vṛtrahan)——所知:你当饮那“成胎之力”。
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (uncertain without anukramaṇī confirmation)
Devata: Varuṇa, Sarasvatī, Indra (as guarantors of the remedy’s efficacy)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification)
