Sukta 52

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (concord formula section)

Devata: The Aśvins (dual helpers) as establishers of concord

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with title/heading)

この短いサṁjñāna(同心・和合)の讃歌は、アシュヴィン双神に、身内の輪の中にも外部の者との間にも、和合と共通の理解を植え付け、共同生活が裂け目なく進むよう祈願する。さらに、多くの人々が集うとき――とりわけ緊迫した市政や軍事の局面において――公の騒擾、凶兆、心を乱す前兆が抑えられ、統一された評議が成り立つよう求める。
