Sukta 86
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Indra (Śakra, Maghavan)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh
这首仅一颂的特里什图布（Triṣṭubh）赞歌，是一篇凝练的增益护佑（paustika）祈请：反复呼唤因陀罗为trātṛ（护卫者、救护者）与avitṛ（援助者），强调他“每一次呼唤”（hāve-hāve）都随召而至。其力量在于密集的名号称举——Śūra、Śakra、Puruhūta、Maghavan——最终以直接祈愿收束：愿因陀罗为共同体建立svasti（福祉、吉祥而安稳的护持）。
