Sukta 77

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (to be resolved from AVŚ anukramaṇī).

Devata: A protective ‘guardian’ power (gopā/rakṣitṛ), functionally aligned with Agni/Jātavedas in the following verse-context.

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; to be confirmed by full hymn metrical scan).

Himne tiga mantra ini ialah jampi peneguh dan pelindung yang “menjadikan teguh berdiri” apa yang cenderung berkeliaran—terutama harta bernilai seperti kuda—dengan mencontohkan tertib rumah tangga pada keteguhan kosmik (Langit, Bumi, gunung-ganang). Kemudian ia menyeru suatu kuasa penjaga, dan akhirnya Agni Jātavedas, untuk mematahkan serta memulangkan ancaman, memberikan perlindungan berlapis, dan memulihkan kesejahteraan rumah tangga serta haluan yang benar.
