Sukta 67
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (longevity benediction formula; specific r̥ṣi not securely individualized in common indices for this brief series)
Devata: Āyus (Life) / benedictive longevity (implicit)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like benedictive pāda (short formula; often treated as a fixed āyuṣya refrain)
AV 19.67 adalah āyuṣya-sūkta yang ringkas, tersusun dari berkat-berkat bergaya refrein yang berulang-ulang memproyeksikan cita-cita “seratus musim gugur” sebagai ukuran normatif umur penuh. Daya himne ini terletak pada harapan yang singkat, mudah dilafalkan dalam laku ritual—melihat, hidup, dan makmur—sehingga panjang umur bukan sekadar lamanya waktu, melainkan vitalitas yang terpelihara dan kemekaran yang berkelanjutan, bahkan melampaui ukuran seratus tahun
