Sukta 60

Rishi: Atharvanic/Aṅgiras-type attribution (kāṇḍa 7 paustika strata; specific r̥ṣi not supplied in the input)

Devata: Bhadra (Auspiciousness) / generalized prosperity-power; implicit Manu as normative human authority

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed; kāṇḍa 7 often uses anuṣṭubh variants)

《AVŚ》7.60是一首求增益(paustika)的入宅与家宅安定赞歌,旨在将“bhadra”(吉祥的兴盛)安置于居所,使房屋本身对居住者变得友善。它抚平匮乏之力——饥与渴——把家转化为安全而可亲的财富与力量之器,并成为和合相伴的所在;反复强调“就在此处”(ihaiva),以此封定兴旺繁荣的根基。

Frequently Asked Questions

It is used to bless and stabilize a dwelling—especially at house-entry—so the home becomes pleasant, friendly, prosperous, and free from the conditions of scarcity (hunger and thirst).

In Atharvanic domestic ritual language, the dwelling is personified so it can be invited, pacified, and turned into an ally—one that protects occupants and supports abundance rather than resisting them.

The cited verses work primarily through recitation and intention at the threshold/inside the home. Offerings are optional; simple hospitality and orderly cleanliness can serve as paustika supports to the mantra’s aim.
