दीर्घायुः।
१ ब्रह्मा। मरुतः, पूषा, बृहसपतिः, अग्निः। पथ्यापङ्क्तिः।

[Brahman.—mantroktadevatyavi . pathyāpan̄kti.]

Comment

Found, without variant, in Pāipp. vi.; also in a number of other texts: see below. The verse has various uses in Kāuś.: next after hymn 15, in a rite for prosperity (24. 8), with offering a dish of mixed grain; in the ceremony of reception of a Vedic student, twice (57. 22, 25), in the ⌊agnikārya⌋, with sprinkling thrice repeated; and (note to 53. 4) the schol. add it in other rites, the godāna etc. In Vāit. (29. 21), the brahman-priest makes the sacrificer repeat it on being anointed, in the agnicayana ceremony.

A prayer for long life, children, and riches

Translation

1. Let the Maruts pour me together, together Pūshan, together
   Brihaspati, together let Agni here pour me with both progeny and wealth;
   long life-time let him make for me.

Notes

‘Pour together’ (sam-sic), i.e. mingle, combine, unite; the expression
probably chosen as accompanying an action of mixing things together by
pouring. In their corresponding verses, TA. (ii. 18⁴), JB. (i. 362),
ĀpśS.(xiv. 18. l), and PGS. (iii. 12. 10) have índras instead of
pūṣā́ in b; ĀpśS. has vas instead of mā in a and c; in
d, TA.JB.ĀpśS. have ā́yuṣā for prajáyā, and TA.JB. bálena for
dhánena; e is wanting in PGS.; ĀpśS. has sarvam and dadhātu,
TA. ā́yuṣmantaṁ karota mā. The variants of K. (xxxv. 2) are not
accessible.

Let Pushan, let the Maruts, let Brihaspati pour forth on me; This present Agni pour on me children and riches in a stream! May he bestow long life on me.
