Vak Suktam aka Devi Suktam

Devi sukta is a popular hymn from the Rig Veda 10.8.125. It contains 8 riks. The Mantra Drashta of the Devi Suktam is Vaak the daughter of Rishi Ambhrina. And hence, it is also called "Ambhrina Sukta" or "Vak Sukta". This great mantra “Devi Suktam” sprang forth from the deep chasms of the her (the Rishika Vaak) heart which is Atma-Stuti when she was in communion with her Chit / I-ness / Aham Sphurana in the her Hridaya Guha Rupa Dahara Akasa.

I am giving below the literal meaning. But the esoteric meaning and interpretations are different.

Aham Rudrebhir vasubhir charami,

Aham aadhithyer uta vaisvadevaii,

Aham mithra varunobha bibharmi,

Aham indragni, aham ashvinobha.

I move with Rudras and Vasus,

I walk with the Sun and other Gods,

I esteem mithra, varuna

And Indra, fire and the Aswini devas.

Aham somam ahaanasam bhibhrami

Aham thwashtaaramr utha pooshanam bhagam,

Aham dadhami dravinam havishmathe,

Supravye yajamanya sunwathe.

I esteem Soma, which is extracted,

I support thwastri, pushan and bhaga,

I give wealth to those who perform yagna,

Who reach the gods with offerings.

Aham rashtri samgamani vasoonaam,

Chikithushee pradhamaa yagniyaanaam,

Thaam maa devaa vyadhaduha puruthra,

Bhuristhathram bhooyar visayanthim.

I am the one who gives wealth to the nation,

I am the first one to whom this sacrifice is addressed,

The gods have found my manifoldness,

And enter in to it and take possession of the manifoldness.

Mayaa so annamathi

yo vipasyathi,Ya pranithi

y aim shrunothi yuktham,

amaanathvo maam tha upa kshiyanthi,

Shrudhi shruthi shraddivam they vadami

I am the power which makes one eat the food, to see, to breath,

And to hear what I am saying,

They who do not believe me perish,

And I am telling you the truth, hear with attention.

Aham yeva swayam idham vadhami,

Jushtam devebhir utha manushebhi,

Yam kaamaye tham tham ugram krunomi,

Tham brahmanam tham rishim tham sumedham,

I am myself telling this,

Which man and gods should try to understand,

The one whom I love, I make him mighty,

I Make him Brahman, I make him the sage, and I make him wise.

Aham rudhraya dhanura thanomi,

Brahmadwishe sharave hanthava vu,

Aham janaaya samadham krunomi,

Aham dhyayaprithwi aa vivesha.

I stretch the bow to Rudra,

So that he who hates Brahmam is hurt by the arrow,

I bestow equality on people at war,

I am throughout the heaven and earth.

Aham suvepitharamasya moordhan,

Mama yonir apswatha samudhre,

Thatho vi thishte bhuvananu vishwotha,

Amum dhyam varshamanopam vishva utha.

I brought about the progenitor in to earth,

I sprang from the water of the ocean,

And from there I spread throughout the universe,

I touch that heaven with a flowering body.

Ahameva vatham yiva vatha yiva pravami,

Arambhamana bhuvanani viswam,

Paro dhiva para yena prithwya,

Yaithavathi mahinaa sam bhabhoova.

I blow like the fierce winds,

Which commences from the universe,

Which extends far beyond heaven and far below the earth,

And I have become very gross because of this.

Can anybody identify the chapter and verse in Rigveda?.

Bumping up the thread ahead of the commercial pitch.

Thank you for this wonderfully informative posting. You make indicate that this is the literal, not esoteric, meaning of the hymn. Would you be so kind as to write more about the esoteric interpretation?
