Sukta 67
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often anonymous in such restorative formulas)
Devata: Indriya/Ātman (personified faculties); Agni (as dhīṣṇya fires)
Chandas: Bṛhatī/related (the input notes ‘uṣṇig-bṛhatī’ tradition; metrical confirmation depends on recensional padapāṭha)
Ye ek mantra hai jo insaan ke khoye hue bal ko wapas lane ke liye hai. Isme indriya, aapna pan, daulat aur brahman shakti ko wapas bulaya jata hai. Agni se prayer ki jati hai ki sab kuch apni sahi jagah pe wapas aaye. Ye basically kisi bhi kamzori ya nuqsan ko theek karne ke liye hai. Ghar mein bhi iska istemal hota tha taaki sab kuch sahi se set ho jaye. Isse insaan fir se purani taakat pa jata hai.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is used to call back a person’s vigor and sense of self after illness, shock, depletion, or loss—along with prosperity and sacred efficacy—so life and ritual order become stable again.
Because the dhīṣṇya fires represent ‘right placement’ and household order. Asking them to set things “in their proper station” symbolically re-seats the person’s scattered faculties and fortunes.
Not necessarily. The verse is designed as a compact spoken restoration; if available, reciting near a clean household fire (with a small offering or water sprinkling) supports the hymn’s theme of re-ordering and return.
