Atharva Veda 1.15.2: Kanda 1, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 15, Mantra 2
Sukta 15
इ॒हैव हव॒मा या॑त म इ॒ह सं॑स्रावणा उ॒तेमं व॑र्धयता गिरः । इ॒हैतु॒ सर्वो॒ यः प॒शुर॒स्मिन् ति॑ष्ठतु॒ या र॒यिः
iháiva havámā́ yāta ma ihá saṁsrāvaṇā utémáṁ vardhayatā gíraḥ | iháitu sárvo yáḥ paśúr asmín tíṣṭhatu yā́ rayíḥ
Hither, even hither, come at my invocation; hither, ye bringers-in of gain; and increase this our sacred utterance. Hither let all that is cattle come; within this (place) let it stand fast—whatsoever wealth there is.
मेरे बुलाने पे यहाँ आओ। जो लाकर देते हैं, वो भी यहाँ आओ। हमारी यह बात को बढ़ा दो। सारी गाय-भैंस यहाँ आये। जो भी धन है, यहीं खड़ा रहे।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (exact r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; not determinable from the single mantra alone).
Devata: Rayi/Śrī (wealth) and Paśu (cattle) as desired powers; also the efficacious ‘Giraḥ’ (mantric speech) as operative agency.
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh (common in AV paustika material), but full metrical confirmation requires the complete pada-count with accent/mora analysis.
Primary: shanta
Secondary: vira
