Sukta 36
इ॒दं हिर॑ण्यं॒ गुल्गु॑ल्व॒यमौ॒क्षो अथो॒ भगः॑ । ए॒ते पति॑भ्य॒स्त्वाम॑दुः प्रतिका॒माय॒ वेत्त॑वे ॥७ आ ते॑ नयतु सवि॒ता न॑यतु॒ पति॒र्यः प्र॑तिका॒म्यः । त्वम॑स्यै धेह्योषधे
idáṃ híraṇyaṃ gúlgulv ayám aukṣó átho bhágaḥ | eté patíbhyaḥ tvā́m áduḥ pratikā́māya véttave ||7|| ā́ te nayatu savitā́ nayatu patír yáḥ pratikā́myaḥ | tvám asyái dhehy oṣadhe
This gold, this guggulu, we—and the Bull, and Bhaga besides— These have bestowed thee for husbands, for the answering of desire, for the winning thereof. Let Savitar lead him hither unto thee; let the husband lead, who is answering to desire. Do thou bestow him upon her, O Herb.
To złoto, ten guggulu, my, oraz Byk i Bhaga ponadto, ci daliśmy dla mężów, dla spełnienia pragnienia, dla jego osiągnięcia. Niech Savitar przyprowadzi go tu do ciebie; niech mąż przyprowadzi, który odpowiada pragnieniu. Ty daj go jej, o Zioło.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; commonly treated as an Atharvan/Angiras-type domestic charm hymn).
Devata: Oṣadhi (Herb) as operative agent; Savitar and Bhaga as divine facilitators of marital fortune.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant; with Atharvanic flexibility in cadence).
Primary: shringara
Secondary: adbhuta
