Sukta 86
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Indra (Śakra, Maghavan)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh
この一詩節のトリシュトゥブ（Triṣṭubh）讃歌は、凝縮されたパウスティカ（福祉・護持）の祈請であり、インドラをtrātṛ（守護者）・avitṛ（助け手）として繰り返し呼びかけ、「呼ぶたびごとに」（hāve-hāve）召しに応じて来る備えがあることを強調する。力点は名号の集中的な列挙――Śūra、Śakra、Puruhūta、Maghavan――にあり、結びとして共同体のためにsvasti（福祉、吉祥な安寧）を確立せよと直接願い求める。
