この一節のみのラクショーグナ（rakṣoghna）讃歌は、太陽の上昇の道程を守り、昇りゆくスーリヤ（Sūrya）を「害し」あるいは妨げようとする敵対の力を名指す。スーリヤをアグニ・ジャータヴェーダス（Agni Jātavedas）と融合させ――光輝を、意識ある火の力として捉え――襲いかかる者どもに熱（haras）と炎（arciṣ）によって打ち倒されよと命じ、障碍を払い、滞りない上昇を回復させる。

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AV 19.65 used for?

It is used to repel hostile or obstructive forces—especially those that ‘block ascent’—by invoking the Sun’s radiance as a fierce, protective fire-power (Jātavedas).

Why does the hymn address both Sūrya and Jātavedas?

Because the hymn treats sunlight and fire as one luminous power: Sūrya’s ascent is protected by Agni’s knowing, burning force that can strike down malign beings.

When should this mantra be recited for best effect?

At sunrise while facing east, or before a journey or important task, when one seeks protection and the removal of impediments.
