Sukta 79
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Anukramaṇī attribution not supplied in input; commonly Atharvan/Āṅgiras-type for paustika charms)

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; standard for many AV domestic charms)
AV 6.79は、雨から生まれる養いを司る神格としてのナバサスパティ（「雲の主」）に捧げられた、簡潔な家内繁栄の護符讃歌である。讃歌は、ūrj（生命を支える食の力・滋養のエネルギー）が家に確立されること、欠乏（asamāti）からの解放、そして「千倍の繁栄」における確かな取り分を願う。その力は、家の安寧を雨と豊穣の宇宙的な貯蔵庫に結びつけ、その充溢をgṛha（家）へと引き寄せ、守られた永続的な状態として定着させる点にある。

Frequently Asked Questions
Nabhasaspati is the personified ‘Lord of the Cloud,’ a power that governs rain and the abundance that comes from it—food, thriving, and household well-being.
It asks for the home to be guarded, for steady food-energy and supplies to remain in the house, and for scarcity or want to be kept away.
No. The hymn itself mentions no required substances; it can be recited as a spoken domestic charm. Some practitioners optionally keep a vessel of water or a little grain nearby as a symbol of rain and nourishment.
