Sukta 5
सं माग्ने वर्चसा सृज सं प्रजया समायुषा । विद्युर्मे अस्य देवा इन्द्रो विद्यात् सह ऋषिभिः
sáṃ mā́gne várcasā sṛja sáṃ prajā́yā sáṃ ā́yuṣā | vidyúr mé asyá devā́ índro vidyā́t sahá ṛ́ṣibhiḥ ||
Unite me, O Agni, with splendour; unite me with offspring, unite me with length of days. Let the Gods take knowledge of this of mine; let Indra know it, together with the Seers.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn attributed within Atharvan/Angirasic rakṣoghna strata; specific r̥ṣi varies by anukramaṇī tradition).
Devata: Agni (primary); Indra and the Viśve Devāḥ as ratifiers.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with prose-like cadence in the second hemistich)
