Atharva Veda Sukta 15
Kanda 1Anuvaka 2Sukta 154 Mantras

Sukta 15

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (general; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions for early AV hymns)

Devata: Prosperity through converging natural powers (rivers, winds, winged beings) and the accepting heavenly realm; effectively a paustika collective invocation rather than a single named deity.

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of ~8 syllables; Atharvanic anuṣṭubh with minor irregularities possible)

このパウスティカ(繁栄)讃歌は、河川・風・翼ある動き手といった自然の流れを呼び集め、祭主のもとへ「合流して流れ来たらしめる」ことで繁栄を凝縮する。さらに、統一の供物によって承認する天界を歓ばせ、財宝・牛群・吉祥の利得が流れ込んで、己が住処に確立して留まることを願う。
