Mantras

Mantra 1

आत्मा। १ ब्रह्म। आत्मा। पुरःपरोष्णिग्बृहती। पुनर्मैत्विन्द्रियं पुनरात्मा द्रविणं ब्राह्मणं च । पुनरग्नयो धिष्ण्या यथास्थाम कल्पयन्तामिहैव

Let vigor come back unto me, and let the Self come back—wealth also, and Brahman-power. Let the established Fires again set all in order, each in its proper station, even here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this sukta used for?

It is used to call back a person’s vigor and sense of self after illness, shock, depletion, or loss—along with prosperity and sacred efficacy—so life and ritual order become stable again.

Why are the dhīṣṇya fires mentioned in a healing charm?

Because the dhīṣṇya fires represent ‘right placement’ and household order. Asking them to set things “in their proper station” symbolically re-seats the person’s scattered faculties and fortunes.

Do I need herbs or an amulet for this hymn to work?

Not necessarily. The verse is designed as a compact spoken restoration; if available, reciting near a clean household fire (with a small offering or water sprinkling) supports the hymn’s theme of re-ordering and return.
