Sukta 20

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn to Anumati; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies in ancillary lists)

Devata: Anumati (personified Consent/Approval)

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant)

这首六颂之歌祈请阿努玛提——神格化的“同意/认可”与施恩的眷顾——对祭主怀善念,并在诸神中裁可其供献。藉由获得允诺,使祭祀无阻而结实:安泰福祉、良田沃壤、健壮之子与善生的后嗣。其力在于把仪式的施行转化为被接纳、受护持的效验——认可成为通往兴盛与家族延续之门。

Frequently Asked Questions

Anumati is the personified power of consent and approval—the divine assent that makes an offering acceptable and lets the desired results (welfare, progeny, prosperity) mature.

It seeks approval of the yajña, protection of the ritual from obstacles, household welfare (śam), agrarian success (good fields), and procreative success (strong sons and progeny).

It is suited to household offerings or the opening/authorization of a rite: recited with simple āhutis into Agni, asking Anumati to accept the offering and bless the patron’s home with increase and children.
