Sukta 86
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Indra (Śakra, Maghavan)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh
Himne Triṣṭubh satu bait ini merupakan seruan paustika (kesejahteraan/perlindungan) yang ringkas, berulang kali memanggil Indra sebagai trātṛ (pelindung) dan avitṛ (penolong), menegaskan kesiapan-Nya untuk dipanggil “pada setiap seruan” (hāve-hāve). Daya himne terletak pada pemadatan penyebutan nama—Śūra, Śakra, Puruhūta, Maghavan—yang berpuncak pada permohonan langsung agar Indra menegakkan svasti (kesejahteraan, keberuntungan yang membawa rasa aman) bagi komunitas.
