Sukta 3
वसोर्या धारा मधुना प्रपीना घृतेन मिश्रा अमृतस्य नाभयः । सर्वास्ता अव रुन्धे स्वर्गः षष्ट्यां शरत्सु निधिपा अभीच्छात्
váso ryā́ dhā́rā mádhunā prápīnā ghṛténa miśrā́ amṛ́tasya nā́bhayaḥ | sárvā́s tā́ áva rundhe svargáḥ ṣaṣṭyā́ṃ śarátsu nidhípā abhī́cchāt
The streams of Wealth—those full-fed with honey, blended with ghee—are the very hubs of Immortality. All these doth Heaven shut in and make secure: the Treasure-keeper hath desired them for the sixtieth year, through the rounds of autumns.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (variable).
Devata: Vasu/Wealth, Svarga (as securing power), Amṛta (immortality-essence).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (edition-dependent).
