Opening the text

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (concord formula section)
Devata: The Aśvins (dual helpers) as establishers of concord
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with title/heading)
Is mantra mein Ashvin devtaon se prayash kiya ja raha hai. Woh sabke mann mein ekta aur samajh dalen. Apne logon mein bhi, parayon mein bhi. Isse sab milkar reh sakein, koi toot na ho. Jab bahut log ikatthe hon, tab koi bada shor na ho. Bure shubh ya ashubh sanket na aayen. Sab milke sahi salah le sakein.
Mantra 1
सांमनस्यम्। सं॒ज्ञानं॑ नः॒ स्वेभिः॑ सं॒ज्ञान॒मर॑णेभिः । सं॒ज्ञान॑मश्विना यु॒वमि॒हास्मासु॒ नि य॑च्छतम्
Yeh mantra sabke saath mil-jul ke rehne ke liye hai. Ashvin devta, humein apne logon ke saath samajh daalo. Pardesi logon ke saath bhi samajh daalo. Aap yahan humare beech aake is samajh ko pakka kar do.
Mantra 2
सं जा॑नामहै॒ मन॑सा॒ सं चि॑कि॒त्वा मा यु॑ष्महि॒ मन॑सा॒ दैव्ये॑न । मा घोषा॒ उत् स्थु॑र्बहु॒ले वि॒निर्ह॑ते॒ मेषुः॑ पप्त॒दिन्द्र॒स्याह॒न्याग॑ते
Hum sab ek hi baat sochein aur samajhein. Bhagwan ne jo dimaag diya hai usse hum jud ke rahein. Jab bada samajh mein log toote, tab zyada shor na ho. Jab Indra ka din aaye tab koi bura nishaan na dikhe.
It is used to create shared understanding and unified intention in a family, council, or community, and to prevent quarrels, rumor, and disruptive clamor in gatherings.
The Aśvins are swift helpers who restore order and well-being; here they are asked to ‘set down’ concord firmly so minds and speech move together rather than split into factions.
No. Its main ‘technology’ is spoken recitation and collective intention. It can be performed simply in an assembly setting; optional water-sprinkling may be added as a calming gesture.
