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 ialah āyuṣya-sūkta yang ringkas, dibina daripada berkat-berkat berbentuk ulangan seperti refrain yang berulang kali menegaskan cita-cita “seratus musim luruh” sebagai ukuran normatif bagi jangka hayat penuh. Kekuatan himpunan ini terletak pada doa-doa yang padat dan mudah dilafazkan—agar dapat melihat, hidup, dan makmur—supaya umur panjang bukan sekadar tempoh, tetapi daya hidup yang berterusan serta kesejahteraan yang berkembang, bahkan melampaui ukuran seratus tahun itu.
