Sukta 60
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn for pati-lābha)
Devata: Aryaman
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable)
この短いpati-lābha（夫を得る）讃歌は、社会的に正当な結びつきを守護するアリヤマン（Aryaman）に、乙女にふさわしい夫をもたらし、実りある妻としての段階へと確かに移行させるよう祈願する。婚姻の選定が競争の場（「共通の集会」）であることを認めつつ、ライバルに勝る神的な優位を求める。結びの詩句は、宇宙の配剤者ダートリ（Dhātṛ）の秩序づける力に根拠を置き、よく釣り合った婚姻がṛta（不動の秩序）の一部であり、子孫と繁栄をもたらすことを示唆する。

Frequently Asked Questions
Aryaman represents lawful fellowship and the social contract—especially marriage alliances that require communal recognition. He is invoked to bring a legitimate, well-matched union rather than a merely private desire.
It points to the public/communal setting where matches are discussed and evaluated—family meetings, assemblies, or social gatherings. The mantra asks that the maiden succeed there even when other women are also present as rivals.
Dhātṛ is the cosmic “Ordainer” who sets earth, heaven, and the sun in place. By invoking him, the hymn frames the husband’s appointment as something firmly established in cosmic order—stable, fitting, and fruitful.
