Sukta 82

Este breve himno atharvavédico es un encantamiento matrimonial (jāyākāmanā) destinado a atraer a la vida y al hogar del recitador una esposa adecuada. Vincula el matrimonio humano deseado con precedentes divinos arquetípicos —el traslado nupcial de Sūryā por los Aśvins y el poder irresistible y dador de riqueza de Indra— para que la fortuna, el consentimiento y el éxito social confluyan en la obtención de una novia.

It is a metaphor for compelling, success-bringing power—Indra’s force that draws the desired outcome toward the reciter, backed by wealth, status, and victory.
