Sukta 63
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (late book; specific ṛṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī)
Devata: Brahmaṇaspati (Bṛhaspati)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like
この一頌から成るアタルヴァ・ヴェーダの祈願は、聖なる言葉と祭儀を促す力の主であるブラフマナスパティ（ブリハスパティ）に「起ち上がれ」と呼びかけ、ヤジュニャ（yajña）によって神々を目覚めさせるよう願う。凝縮された効力は寿命とプラーナ（prāṇa）を増大させること（āyurvardhana）にあり、同時に祭主（yajamāna）に繁栄の徴—子孫、牛財、名声—を確保する。
