Sukta 15
वाणिज्यम्। इन्द्रमहं वणिजं चोदयामि स न ऐतु पुरएता नो अस्तु । नुदन्नरातिं परिपन्थिनं मृगं स ईशानो धनदा अस्तु मह्यम्
vāṇíjyam | índram aháṃ vaṇíjaṃ codayāmi sá na étu purā-etā́ no astu | nudánn árātim paripánthinaṃ mṛgáṃ sá īśā́no dhanadā́ astu máhyam
For commerce: Indra and the merchant I set in motion; let him go—our forerunner, let him be for us. Thrusting away mischance, the beast that haunts the path, let him, the sovereign, the wealth-bestower, be for me.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (commercial/travel charms)
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable)
