Sukta 43

Rishi: From RV Indra material preserved in AV 20 (ṛṣi per RV locus).

Devata: Indra

Chandas: RV meter (often Anuṣṭubh in such imperatival verses; exact meter depends on RV original).

AV 20.43 ialah sebuah Indra-sūkta yang ringkas, yang memadukan daya pemecah musuh dengan pemulihan serta penarikan kekayaan. Ia memerintahkan Indra agar menghancurkan para pembenci dan kuasa-kuasa penindas, agar mendapatkan kembali barang berharga walaupun disembunyikan di rongga-rongga atau tempat berbatu, dan agar menganugerahkan “kekayaan yang diidamkan” sebagai akibat pasti sesudah kemenangan.

Frequently Asked Questions

To break hostile opposition (enemies, oppression, conflicts) and then compel the return or arrival of desirable wealth, including goods that are hidden or carried off.

The refrain “vasu spārhaṃ tadā bhara” acts as a ritual seal: after Indra removes obstacles, the mantra repeatedly fixes the intended result—bringing the coveted wealth here.

No specific substances are mentioned in the verses. It can be performed as a focused recitation with clear intent—first expelling hostility, then ‘calling back’ wealth and sealing the request.
