Suktas in Anuvaka 1

Sukta 1

Ye mantra kisi ke guzarne ke baad unka rasta sahi karne ke liye hai. Isme devta log suraj ki roshni aur mausam ko sahi se set karte hain. Pichle purkhe bhi is raste mein madad karte hain. Aasman aur dharti, paani, suraj sab ko gawah bulaya jata hai. Ye sab dekhte hain ki guzarne wala kaam se kaam upar pahunch jaye. Koi buri taakat usko raste mein na roke. Sab kuch kaayde se ho, aur purkhe uska swagat karein.

Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic/Aṅgiras lineage for AV 18.1 (funerary corpus); verse-specific ṛṣi not consistently isolated in later lists. | Devata: Sūrya / Jyotis / Devas as upholders of ṛta | 61 Mantras

Sukta 2

Is mantra mein insaan ki umar ko lamba karne ki prayas hai. Yeh life ki matra yaani nap-taul ko wapas set karta hai taaki jaldi khatam na ho. Lakshya hai ki insaan sau saal tak jiye. Isme Fathers yaani purvajon aur Agni ko bulaya jata hai. Yeh log life kam karne wale powers ko bhagate hain. Agni aise armour ki tarah kaam karta hai jo protect karta hai. Isliye yeh mantra khatarnak situations mein bhi safe rakhne ke liye hai.

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (funerary/āyuṣya complex of AV 18; r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions) | Devata: Āyus (Longevity) / the impersonal life-measure (mātrā) as efficacious principle | 60 Mantras

Sukta 3

Ye mantra marne wale ki aatma ko devayana path pe le jata hai. Aghnya aur Yama saath dete hain ki aatma sahi jagah pahunche. Yama pehla insaan tha jise maut ke baad raasta mila. Isme purvajon ko yaad kiya jata hai jo Agni aur Indra ko mazboot banate the. Woh log apne gaon ko surakshit rakhte the aur gaayen palate the. Ye mantra zinda logon ko bhi sambhalta hai ki ghar mein disturbance na ho. Marne wale ka sahi placement hota hai ki woh upar chale jayein. Aisa karne se woh wapas nahi aate aur koi asubh cheez nahi hoti.

Rishi: Traditionally associated with Atharvanic seers in the AV funeral book (18); specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī tradition. | Devata: Aghnyā (the sacred Cow) / psychopompic auspicious power; implicitly the Gods’ path (devayāna). | 73 Mantras

Sukta 4

Ye mantra antim sanskar ke liye hai. Isme pichle logon ke raste par chalne ki baat hai. Mantra yajna ko theek se baithata hai. Lokakrit aur Pathikrit jaise puraskon ko bulaya jata hai. Ye swargi logon ke liye rasta saaf karta hai. Pichle logon ki parampara follow karni hai. Isse sabko sahi hissa milta hai. Rasta mein koi rukawat nahi aati.

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (funerary book; r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions) | Devata: Lokakṛt/Pathikṛt powers (a class of invoked recipients; often treated as divine/ancestral order-establishers) | 89 Mantras
