Sukta 36
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī for this minor nuptial charm)
Devata: Agni (primary), Bhaga (auxiliary as fortune-distributor)
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (Atharvavedic domestic charm style; broadly triṣṭubh-jagatī tendency rather than strict anuṣṭubh)
Yeh mantra kisi ladki ke liye achha pati dhundne ke liye hai. Isme Agni ko ghar ka madhyam maan ke bulaya jata hai. Bhaga se maanga jata hai ki rishta achha mile aur ghar mein khushali aaye. Ladki ko dulhon mein pasand kiya jaaye, yeh bhi isme prayas hai. Pati gussa na kare, kisi ka bura na lage, yeh bhi shamil hai. Rishta jam ke baith jaye, log bhi man se sweekar karein.

पतिवेदनम्। आ नो॑ अग्ने सुम॒तिं सं॑भ॒लो ग॑मेदि॒मां कु॑मा॒रीं स॒ह नो॒ भगे॑न । जु॒ष्टा व॒रेषु॒ सम॑नेषु व॒ल्गुरो॒षं पत्या॒ सौभ॑गमस्त्व॒स्यै
Agni, tum hamare liye acchi soch aur khana-pina laao. Is ladki ke liye Bhaga ke saath sukh lao. Dulhe ke chunav mein woh pasand aaye, sabke beech acchi lage. Uska pati mil jaye, bhagya accha ho, aur gussa thanda ho.
Mantra 2
सोम॑जुष्टं॒ ब्रह्म॑जुष्टमर्य॒म्णा संभृ॑तं॒ भग॑म्। धा॒तुर्दे॒वस्य॑ स॒त्येन॑ कृ॒णोमि॑ पति॒वेद॑नम्
Main aisa vardaan maangti hoon jo Som aur Brahma dono ko manzoor ho. Yeh bhagya Dhata devta ki sachchai se milta hai. Isse pati milta hai.
Mantra 3
इ॒यम॑ग्ने॒ नारी॒ पतिं॑ विदेष्ट॒ सोमो॒ हि राजा॑ सु॒भगां॑ कृ॒णोति॑ । सुवा॑ना पु॒त्रान् महि॑षी भवाति ग॒त्वा पतिं॑ सु॒भगा॒ वि रा॑जतु
Agni devta, is aurat ko pati milne do. Som raja uska bhagya accha karte hain. Woh bete paida karegi aur ghar ki main aurat banegi. Pati ke paas jakar woh khush rahe aur chamke.
Mantra 4
यथा॑ख॒रो म॑घवं॒श्चारु॑रे॒ष प्रि॒यो मृ॒गाणां॑ सु॒षदा॑ ब॒भूव॑ । ए॒वा भग॑स्य जु॒ष्टेयम॑स्तु॒ नारी॒ संप्रि॑या॒ पत्यावि॑राधयन्ती
Jaise gadha jaanwaron ko pyaara lagta hai, waise hi yeh aurat apne pati ko pyaari lage. Bhagwan ki kripa se woh apne pati ko pasand aaye. Pati ko koi takleef na de, pyaar se rahe.

भग॑स्य॒ नाव॒मा रो॑ह पू॒र्णामनु॑पदस्वतीम्। तयो॑पप्रता॑रय॒ यो वरः प्र॑तिका॒म्यः

Yeh sone ka daan hai, guggul bhi hai. Bhagwan ne tumhe pati ke liye diya hai. Savita devta tumhare pati ko tumhare paas laye. Yeh jadi buti tumhe pati dilaye.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is used as a domestic charm to help a maiden obtain a suitable husband, gain acceptance among suitors and families, and secure prosperity and harmony in married life.
Agni acts as the household mediator who carries the prayer into effect, while Bhaga grants the ‘portion’ of good fortune—marital allotment, enjoyment, and social approval—needed for a successful match.
Gold (hiraṇya) functions as an auspicious saubhāgya-token, and guggulu as a fragrant attractive medium; together they ‘materialize’ the prayer, especially in the closing verse where Savitar leads the desired husband and the Herb is commanded to bestow him.
