Sukta 35
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Agni/Vaiśvānara hymn)
Devata: Vaiśvānara Agni
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable)
这首简短的三颂赞歌从“远方”召请毗湿婆那罗·阿耆尼进入家宅与祭仪之域，祈愿他亲近精心铸就的赞颂，并在遭逢困厄与灾患（aṃhas）之时临在守护。诗中将阿耆尼描绘为护卫者，同时也是颂歌（stoma）与赞诵（uktha）之内在统摄与编排者；当其秩序得当，便能生起光辉（dyumna）、天界之光（svaḥ），并获得阿利耶曼（Aryaman）安定而持久的恩惠。

Frequently Asked Questions
Vaiśvānara is Agni as the shared, communal fire—present in the household and sacrifice—who comes when called and makes the rite effective and safe.
Aṃhas refers to distress, constriction, or misfortune. The hymn states that Agni is present in the uktha (recitation) precisely in such trouble, functioning as protection and remedy.
They represent correctly structured praise—chant and recitation. The sukta credits Vaiśvānara with ordering them properly, and from that right order arise splendour (dyumna), heavenly light (svaḥ), and social stability through Aryaman’s favour.
