Sukta 10
Rishi: As per AV 7.10 anukramaṇī tradition (variable)
Devata: Sarasvatī
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-like (long pādas; to be confirmed by metrical scan)
Cet hymne d’un seul vers invoque Sarasvatī par l’image saisissante de son « sein » (stana) — symbole d’un flux inépuisable, doux et nourricier — afin que tous les trésors désirables prospèrent. Il fonctionne comme un charme de prospérité et de nourriture : en la louant comme dispensatrice de joie, favorable aux requêtes, facile à invoquer et généreuse en dons, le récitant cherche l’octroi immédiat d’accroissement, d’abondance et de biens précieux florissants.

It is primarily paustika: recited to promote thriving—food, resources, and “choice treasures”—and to invite steady increase and well-being into one’s life or household.
No items are required by the text. Many practitioners optionally use clean water as a supportive symbol of Sarasvatī’s flow, but the recitation itself is central.
