Sukta 54

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (attribution uncertain)

Devata: Ṛc and Sāman (personified Vedic speech-forms)

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (approx.)

Este breve himno de dos mantras venera a Ṛc y Sāman como formas vivientes y eficaces del habla sagrada, que hacen posible la acción ritual y llevan el sacrificio a los dioses. También funciona como un amuleto de protección para el estudio: el estudiante pide que la poderosa Veda — cuando se la interroga y se la maneja — no cause daño, sino que otorgue fuerza, claridad y una ejecución exitosa.
