Sukta 67
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (longevity benediction formula; specific r̥ṣi not securely individualized in common indices for this brief series)
Devata: Āyus (Life) / benedictive longevity (implicit)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like benedictive pāda (short formula; often treated as a fixed āyuṣya refrain)
AV 19.67は、反復される祝福句から成る簡潔なアーユシュヤ（延寿）讃歌であり、「百の秋」（すなわち百歳）を完全な寿命の規範的理想として繰り返し掲げる。その力は、見ること・生きること・栄えることを願う、簡明で儀礼的に唱えやすい祈願にあり、長寿を単なる期間ではなく、持続する活力と繁栄として、さらには百年の尺度をも越えるものとして描く。
