Sukta 89

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (domestic charm corpus)

Devata: Prīti (affection) as functional devatā; Soma as empowering agent

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh

AV 6.89 est un charme atharvanique concis destiné à susciter la prīti (affection/concorde) tout en « asséchant » le « brûlement du cœur » psychosomatique (hārdi) et la détresse mentale. Il opère par le transfert rituel d’une puissance renforcée par Soma vers la personne (notamment la tête) et par l’image du vent/de la fumée comme vecteur attirant l’esprit de l’autre vers le praticien, pour culminer en une rencontre socialement reconnue sous l’égide de Mitra–Varuṇa et de Sarasvatī.
