Sukta 57

Devata: Sarasvatī

Chandas: Mixed/Triṣṭubh-like cadence (probable due to longer pādas; exact meter requires full pada-count verification)

Este breve hino atharvavédico invoca Sarasvatī como curadora que restaura a firmeza interior e a integridade do corpo quando alguém é abalado pela ansiedade, por uma súplica errante ou por uma “fenda” sentida no interior do corpo. Pela imagem do ghṛta (ghee) como plenitude nutridora e pelo motivo de sete correntes que fluem, ele busca um florescimento em todos os lados — saúde, força e prosperar ordenado (ṛta) para a pessoa e a linhagem da casa.

Recite 7.57.1 while holding or lightly anointing with a small amount of clean ghee (or symbolically touching the heart/affected area), then recite 7.57.2 to affirm abundance and all-round thriving, ending with a quiet moment of steadiness.
