Sukta 47
कुहूः। कुहूं देवीं सुकृतं विद्मनापसमस्मिन् यज्ञे सुहवा जोहवीमि । सा नो रयिं विश्ववारं नि यच्छाद् ददातु वीरं शतदायमुक्थ्यऽम्

Kuhū! Kuhū, the Goddess, beneficent, with knowledge active, in this sacrifice—easy to invoke—I call on her again and again. May she assign to us wealth of every choicest sort, and give a hero-son, a hundred-giving boon, worthy of hymn.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (seer attribution uncertain/variable)
Devata: Kuhū
