Atharva Veda 19.8.3: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 8, Mantra 3
Sukta 8
स्वस्ति॑तं मे सुप्रा॒तः सु॑सा॒यं सु॑दि॒वं सु॑मृ॒गं सु॑श॒कुनं॑ मे अस्तु । सु॒हव॑मग्ने स्व॒स्त्य॑१मर्त्यं॑ ग॒त्वा पुन॒राया॑भि॒नन्द॑न्
svastítaṃ me suprā́taḥ susā́yaṃ sudívaṃ sumṛgáṃ suśakúnaṃ me astu | suhávam agne svastí amártyaṃ gatvā́ púnar ā́ya abhinándan ||
Let welfare be mine—good morning, good evening, good day; good fortune in the wild, good omen-bird be mine. O Agni, easy to invoke—(grant) immortal welfare: having gone forth, come back again rejoicing.
यह मंत्र माँगता है कि सुबह अच्छी हो, शाम अच्छी हो, दिन अच्छा हो। जंगल में भी किस्मत साथ हो, अच्छे शकुन मिलें। अग्नि भगवान को बुलाना आसान है। वो अमर शांति दे। बाहर जाओ, काम करो, और खुश होके वापस आओ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Agni; Svasti (welfare) as operative power
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (svasti formula style)
Primary: shanta
