Sukta 58
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (anonymous/collective in many AV paustika hymns)
Devata: Indra; Dyāvāpṛthivī; Savitar
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (AV mixed; often treated as triṣṭubh in such praise/boon verses)
Himne paustika yang ringkas ini ialah jampi untuk memperoleh dan meneguhkan yáśas—kemasyhuran umum, prestij, dan pengiktirafan sosial—terutamanya dalam ekonomi ritual naungan dan dakṣiṇā. Ia menarik turun kemasyhuran daripada sumber kosmik dan korban yang paling berwibawa (Indra, Dyāvāpṛthivī, Savitar; dan secara lanjutan Agni dan Soma), lalu menguniversalkannya sehingga penutur menjadi “yang paling termasyhur” dalam kalangan semua makhluk.

यशः प्राप्तिः। य॒शसं॒ मेन्द्रो॑ म॒घवान् कृणोतु य॒शसं॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी उ॒भे इ॒मे। य॒शसं॑ मा दे॒वः स॑वि॒ता कृ॑णोतु प्रि॒यो दा॒तुर्दक्षि॑णाया इ॒ह स्या॑म्
Semoga Indra Yang Maha Pemurah menjadikan aku termasyhur; semoga kedua-duanya ini—Langit dan Bumi—menjadikan aku termasyhur. Semoga dewa Savitar menjadikan aku termasyhur; semoga aku di sini menjadi yang dikasihi oleh pemberi dakṣiṇā (upah persembahan).

Sebagaimana Indra termasyhur di Langit dan Bumi, sebagaimana Air-Airan termasyhur di antara tumbuh-tumbuhan ubat (oṣadhi), demikianlah di antara semua dewa, demikian juga di antara semua manusia, semoga kami memiliki kemasyhuran.

य॒शा इन्द्रो॑ य॒शा अ॒ग्निर्य॒शाः सोमो॑ अजायत । य॒शा विश्व॑स्य भू॒तस्या॒हम॑स्मि य॒शस्त॑मः

Frequently Asked Questions
Here yáśas means public renown—being widely spoken of with approval, socially recognized, and treated as worthy of honor and reward, especially in ritual and patronage settings.
Indra grants victorious eminence, Heaven-and-Earth provide cosmic legitimacy and visibility, and Savitar impels success and acceptance—together forming a complete ‘pipeline’ from divine power to human recognition.
No. While 6.58.1 explicitly mentions being beloved of the giver of dakṣiṇā, the hymn’s broader aim is universal fame among gods and people, so it can be used by anyone seeking good name, status, and acceptance.
