Mantra 1
अनुमतिः। अन्व॒द्य नोऽनु॑मतिर्य॒ज्ञं दे॒वेषु॑ मन्यताम्। अ॒ग्निश्च॑ हव्य॒वाह॑नो॒ भव॑तां दा॒शुषे॒ मम॑
In assent, to-day, may Anumati approve our sacrifice among the gods; and may Agni, the oblation-bearer, be present for my worshipper who bestoweth.
Mantra 2
अन्विद॑नुमते॒ त्वं मंस॑से॒ शं च॑ नस्कृधि । जुष॒स्व॑ ह॒व्यमाहु॑तं प्र॒जां दे॑वि ररास्व नः
Yea, in accord, O Anumati, thou art minded: work thou for us both welfare and good. Take thou delight in the oblation duly offered; and, O Goddess, bestow on us progeny.
Mantra 3
अनु॑ मन्यतामनु॒मन्य॑मानः प्र॒जाव॑न्तं र॒यिमक्षी॑यमाणम्। तस्य॑ व॒यं हेड॑सि॒ मापि॑ भूम सुमृडी॒के अ॑स्य सुम॒तौ स्या॑म
Let her, consenting, give assent—(granting) wealth undiminishing, and a man rich in offspring. In her displeasure may we not at all be found; in her kindly mercy, in her gracious thought, may we abide.
Mantra 4
यत् ते॒ नाम॑ सु॒हवं॑ सुप्रणी॒तेऽनु॑मते॒ अनु॑मतं सु॒दानु॑ । तेना॑ नो य॒ज्ञं पि॑पृहि विश्ववारे र॒यिं नो॑ धेहि सुभगे सु॒वीर॑म्
What name of thine is easy to invoke, O well-guiding Anumati—approved, bounteous—therewith make thou our sacrifice complete, O all-desirable one; and set thou for us wealth, O gracious Lady, rich in goodly sons.
Mantra 5
एमं य॒ज्ञमनु॑मतिर्जगाम सुक्षे॒त्रता॑यै सुवी॒रता॑यै सुजा॑तम्। भ॒द्रा ह्यऽस्याः॒ प्रम॑तिर्ब॒भूव॒ सेमं य॒ज्ञम॑वतु दे॒वगो॑पा
To this sacrifice hath Anumati come, for goodly fields, for goodly sons—well-generated. For auspicious is her providence become: let her, divinely guarded, protect this sacrifice.
Mantra 6
अनु॑मतिः॒ सर्व॑मि॒दं ब॑भूव॒ यत् तिष्ठ॑ति॒ चर॑ति॒ यदु॑ च॒ विश्व॒मेज॑ति । तस्या॑स्ते देवि सुम॒तौ स्या॒मानु॑मते॒ अनु॒ हि मंस॑से नः
Anumati hath become all this—what standeth, what moveth, and whatsoever in the whole world stirreth. In her, O Goddess, in thy gracious thought may we abide; for, O Anumati, thou in accord art minded toward us.
Anumati is the personified power of consent and approval—the divine assent that makes an offering acceptable and lets the desired results (welfare, progeny, prosperity) mature.
It seeks approval of the yajña, protection of the ritual from obstacles, household welfare (śam), agrarian success (good fields), and procreative success (strong sons and progeny).
It is suited to household offerings or the opening/authorization of a rite: recited with simple āhutis into Agni, asking Anumati to accept the offering and bless the patron’s home with increase and children.
