Sukta 32
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (edition-dependent Anukramaṇī attribution).
Devata: Agni (implied by āhuti-vṛdh and approach to the oblation-fed power), or a generalized life-bestower.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (common in āyuṣya formulae; edition-dependent).
这首仅一颂的延寿（āyuṣya）赞歌，趋近那为人所爱、青春的“由供献而增长之力”（āhuti-vṛdh），祈求它赐予诵者长寿。通过恭敬地亲近（upa…aganma）与携持敬礼（bibhṛto namaḥ），此咒将长生描绘为：经由如法供养的神圣力量所释放的恩赐——在家祭火中最自然可指阿耆尼（Agni）。

Frequently Asked Questions
It is recited to obtain dīrghāyus—long life—by approaching the oblation-strengthened sacred power (commonly understood as Agni) with reverence.
The epithet āhuti-vṛdh (“grown by oblations”) naturally points to Agni, who is strengthened by offerings in the household fire and can then bestow vitality and duration.
No. The core rite is minimal: focused recitation and, ideally, a small ghee āhuti into a clean domestic flame, accompanied by a clear intention for long life.
