Sukta 122

Rishi: RV-derived

Devata: Indra

Chandas: Gāyatrī (short tri-pāda style; as preserved here)

Himne Indra yang ringkas ini, diambil daripada korpus Indra dalam Rigveda, digunakan dalam niat paustika Atharvaveda: untuk memperoleh kemakmuran yang melimpah—hadiah, makanan, dan kegembiraan bersama—melalui persahabatan Indra. Ia juga berfungsi sebagai jampi pemecah halangan, berulang kali memuji Indra sebagai yang “membuka palang penjagaan”, agar jalan, upacara, dan usaha sang penaung bergerak maju tanpa rintangan.

Frequently Asked Questions

For prosperity: gaining prize-like success (vāja) and nourishing plenty (kṣu), and for removing obstacles that block progress or results.

It is a vivid metaphor for releasing what is stuck—Indra breaks the ‘bar’ that restrains movement, so goals, journeys, and undertakings proceed smoothly.

No. A simple nourishment token (grain, milk, ghee, or food) fits the hymn’s prosperity theme; the core practice is recitation with intention and (optionally) a small offering or sharing of food.
