Sukta 46
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn to Sinīvālī; seer attribution varies in ancillary lists)
Devata: Sinīvālī
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in AV domestic hymns; metrical exactness may vary by pāda)
这首简短的《阿闼婆吠陀》家祭赞歌祈请西尼瓦丽（Sinīvālī），奉她为司掌受孕、平安分娩与使子嗣在家中稳固延续的女神守护者。通过朴素的供献（āhuti）与直接的颂赞，祈愿消除不孕，获得“多子多孙”，并使婚姻的兴盛——得一位称职的夫主（pati）——与生育及昌盛的成功与福泽（rādhas）相契合。
