Goodwill. The many paths, god-leading, that move between Heaven and Earth—whichever of them bearest best the untraced (way), unto that let all the Gods here set goodwill round about me.
आसमान और धरती के बीच बहुत रास्ते हैं। जो भगवान तक ले जाते हैं। उनमें से जो सबसे सही रास्ता हो, उसपे चलो। सारे देवता मुझपे भलाई रखें।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (per Anukramaṇī for AV 6.55).
Devata: Viśve Devāḥ (All the Gods); with Heaven-and-Earth as cosmic setting
Chandas: Mixed/triṣṭubh-like cadence is possible here; confirm by metrical analysis in edition (not securely anuṣṭubh).
Primary: shanta
