Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Rigveda (Mandala 7, Sukta 41)
Author: Rishi Vasishtha Maitravaruni
Period: Vedic period (c. 1500-1000 BCE)
The Bhagya Suktam is the Bhaga hymn of the seventh Mandala of the Rigveda, traditionally ascribed to the great seer Vasishtha. It is a morning hymn (prataranuvaka): at the first light of dawn the rishi calls upon the whole circle of bright deities — Agni, Indra, Mitra and Varuna, the Ashvins, Pushan, Brahmanaspati, Soma and Rudra — and then turns to Bhaga, the Aditya of fortune, praying that he bestow upon the worshipper his rightful portion of cattle, horses, heroic sons and the lasting goodwill of the gods. Because Bhaga embodies destiny and prosperity, the hymn became a favourite Vedic prayer for wealth, success and auspicious beginnings.
