Mantra 1

दीर्घायुः। सं मा सिञ्चन्तु मरुतः सं पूषा सं बृहस्पतिः । सं मायमग्निः सिञ्चतु प्रजया च धनेन च दीर्घमायुः कृणोतु मे

Let the Maruts wholly sprinkle me; wholly Pūṣan, wholly Bṛhaspati. Let this Agni wholly sprinkle me with progeny and with wealth; let him make for me long life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Atharvaveda 7.33 used for?

It is used for āyuṣya (longevity) and paustika (increase)—to bless a person with long life along with progeny and wealth through a consecratory sprinkling prayer.

Why are four deities invoked in a single short verse?

Each contributes a facet of well-being: Maruts give vigor, Pūṣan gives nourishment and protection, Bṛhaspati grants sacred effectiveness, and Agni seals the blessing through consecration.

Do I need special materials to use this hymn?

Traditionally a simple sprinkling with clean water (optionally with a little ghee) before the household fire is sufficient; the core requirement is focused recitation with the intent of consecration.
