Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; edition-dependent).
Cet hymne Āyuṣya–Paustika d’un seul vers est une prière de consécration concise, demandant aux dieux d’« asperger » le bénéficiaire d’une vitalité intégrée et d’un accroissement propice. En invoquant les Maruts (vigueur), Pūṣan (nourriture et passage sûr), Bṛhaspati (parole sacrée et rite efficace) et Agni (feu consacrant), il vise une infusion complète de descendance, de richesse et de longue vie.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is used for āyuṣya (longevity) and paustika (increase)—to bless a person with long life along with progeny and wealth through a consecratory sprinkling prayer.
Each contributes a facet of well-being: Maruts give vigor, Pūṣan gives nourishment and protection, Bṛhaspati grants sacred effectiveness, and Agni seals the blessing through consecration.
Traditionally a simple sprinkling with clean water (optionally with a little ghee) before the household fire is sufficient; the core requirement is focused recitation with the intent of consecration.
