इंद्र पूरी दुनिया का राजा है। वो लोगों के ग्रुप्स का भी राजा है। धरती पर जो भी है, सब उसके नियंत्रण में है। जो लोग भगवान को पूजा के साथ देंगे, उनको वो धन देता है। बस उसकी प्रशंसा से भी वो हम तक पहुँच जाता है।

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Atharvaveda 19.5 used for?

It is a paustika (prosperity) hymn used to attract Indra’s bounty—wealth, valuables, and general increase—toward the reciter or patron through praise.

Why does the verse emphasize being a “dāśuṣ” (giver)?

The mantra states that Indra gives riches to the dāśuṣ, the liberal patron. Presenting oneself as generous aligns the reciter with the recipient described in the verse.

Do I need any herbs, amulets, or special materials to use this sukta?

No. The hymn itself prescribes no substances; it functions primarily through stuti (praise) and the directional closing ‘arvāk’ that draws the bounty “hither.”
