Translation

Let fearlessness, O heaven-and-earth, be here for us; let Soma, Savitar, make us fearlessness; be the wide atmosphere fearlessness for us; and by the oblation of the seven seers be there fearlessness for us.

How attribution was recorded1

PER_PASSAGE is an attribution the source states verse by verse; CONTAINER_INHERITED is a containing hymn's label projected onto each of its mantras. The two must not be summed: 15,177 of the 17,889 seer edges are inherited, every one of the Atharvaveda's 5,084 is, and every one of the Yajurveda's 2,240 is source-stated, so a blended total compares a statement of the text against a projection of this build.
