Mantra 4
Sukta 10
शं नो अग्निर्ज्योतिरनीको अस्तु शं नो मित्रावरुणावश्विना शम्। शं नः सुकृतां सुकृतानि सन्तु शं न इषिरो अभि वातु वातः
śáṃ no agnír jyótir-anīko astu | śáṃ no mitrā́varuṇāv aśvínā śám || śáṃ naḥ sukṛtā́ṃ sukṛtā́ni santu | śáṃ na iṣirá abhí vātu vā́taḥ ||
Weal be to us: may Agni, light-faced, be for our good; weal be to us from Mitra and Varuṇa, and weal from the Aśvins. Weal be to us: may the well-doers and the good deeds be present; weal be to us: may the eager Wind blow hither upon us.
Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic/anonymous (late AV śānti corpus; r̥ṣi attributions vary by anukramaṇī).
Devata: Agni; Mitra-Varuṇa; Aśvins; Vāta (as beneficent cosmic agencies).
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant śānti cadence; some pādas show late-AV flexibility).
