Sukta 14
शि॒वो वो॑ गो॒ष्ठो भ॑वतु शारि॒शाके॑व पुष्यत । इ॒हैवोत प्र जा॑यध्वं॒ मया॑ वः॒ सं सृ॑जामसि
śivó vó goṣṭhó bhavatu śāriśā́keva puṣyata | iháiva utá prá jāyadhvaṃ máyā vaḥ sáṃ sṛjāmasi
Auspicious be your cattle-stall; like the thriving pot-herb let it prosper. Here, even here, moreover, increase and be born forth: by me for you we bring the whole to issue.
Auspicioso seja o vosso curral; que ele prospere como a śāriśāka (erva de horta) viçosa. Aqui mesmo, sim aqui, crescei e gerai; por mim, para vós, faço com que tudo isto venha a realizar-se.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for paustika material)
Devata: Goṣṭha/Pausti (prosperity principle; implicitly supported by Indra/Paśupati-type guardianship in the cycle)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; common in paustika verses)
Primary: shanta
Secondary: shringara
