Sukta 5.84
Atri (probable for nearby hymns in Mandala 5; exact attribution for 5.84 requires hymn-level confirmation)
Uncertain from isolated verse; likely a roaming luminous/storm-related power (possibly Vāta/Marut-associated or a named feminine/epithet ‘Arjunī’)
Gāyatrī (verse appears shorter; likely gāyatrī-like rather than triṣṭubh)
这首简短的阿特里赞歌呼唤一股迅疾游行的力量;夜间的歌咏向其致敬,称颂它如嘶鸣的战马般驱策充盈与威力奔涌而出。全诗以唤请为旨:召请那移动的光辉/风暴之能(或名、或称号为“阿尔朱尼”)显现精力、势头与凯旋的丰饶,赐予祭主。
Arjunī appears as a name or epithet for a swift, roaming power. From the verse alone, she seems linked to wind/storm-like movement and luminous force, but the exact deity identification needs hymn-level confirmation.
It suggests the praise is performed in the night or in a nocturnal ritual setting. The hymn frames the chant itself as an effective action that calls the roaming power to respond.
It compares the deity’s force to a war-horse surging forward—symbolizing speed, courage, and winning power (vāja). The hymn asks for that same forward-driving energy to manifest for the worshipper.
