Sukta 63
Rishi: Atharvanic protective tradition
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (longer pādas; protective invocation style)
此一颂之苏克塔奉请阿耆尼为“灭除厄难者”（duritanāśana），自至高的神圣座处以庄严赞颂呼唤之。其力在于“渡越”（pārayaṇa）的意象：祈愿阿耆尼——战胜于斗争者、坚固的护持者——载送祭主安然越过一切艰难险途，使其超出灾厄。

Frequently Asked Questions
It asks Agni to carry the worshipper across every hard passage (durgāṇi) and to place them safely beyond misfortunes (duritāni).
Because Agni is invoked as the power that destroys or burns away the causes and residues of distress—danger, ill-omen, and harmful forces—so that safety (kṣema) is restored.
No. The primary medium is fire (Agni) and the uktha (solemn recitation). A small ghee offering or clean kindling can be added, but the hymn is designed to work as a direct protective invocation.
