Sukta 68

Rishi: Atharvanic/anonymous (late technical verse).

Devata: Avyasa and Vyacas (paired powers); secondarily Veda/Brahman as efficacious speech.

Chandas: Mixed/prose-like with anuṣṭubh cadence; often treated as a technical mantra rather than strict metrical verse.

Ten jednomantrowy hymn techniczny uprawomocnia wedyjskie działanie rytualne poprzez opowiadanie o 'odzyskaniu' lub objawieniu Wedy z ukrycia, aby obrzędy mogły przebiegać z pewnością. Poprzez wezwanie sparowanych mocy Awjasy i Wjaczas, odprawiający symbolicznie rozszczepia ukrytą 'dzielę' (bila) za pomocą operatywnej maja (skuteczności rytualnej), wyciąga wedyjską mowę i tym samym gwarantuje poprawność oraz owoc karman.
