Sukta 79

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Anukramaṇī attribution not supplied in input; commonly Atharvan/Āṅgiras-type for paustika charms)

Devata: Nabhasaspati (personified lord of cloud/rain; prosperity agent)

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; standard for many AV domestic charms)

AV 6.79 ialah jampi kemakmuran rumah tangga yang ringkas, ditujukan kepada Nabhasaspati, “Tuan Awan,” yang dibayangkan sebagai penguasa ilahi bagi pemeliharaan yang lahir daripada hujan. Himne ini memohon agar ūrj (tenaga hayat daripada makanan) ditegakkan di dalam rumah, agar bebas daripada kekurangan (asamāti), dan agar memperoleh bahagian yang teguh dalam “kemakmuran seribu kali ganda.” Kekuatan jampinya terletak pada pengaitan kesejahteraan domestik dengan gudang kosmik hujan dan kelimpahan, lalu menarik kepenuhan itu masuk ke dalam gṛha sebagai keadaan yang terpelihara dan berkekalan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nabhasaspati is the personified ‘Lord of the Cloud,’ a power that governs rain and the abundance that comes from it—food, thriving, and household well-being.

It asks for the home to be guarded, for steady food-energy and supplies to remain in the house, and for scarcity or want to be kept away.

No. The hymn itself mentions no required substances; it can be recited as a spoken domestic charm. Some practitioners optionally keep a vessel of water or a little grain nearby as a symbol of rain and nourishment.
