Origin & Story
Rigveda 10.191 · Rishi Samvanana Angirasa (Samvananas Angirasah) · Vedic period (c. 1500–1200 BCE)
This is the concluding Sukta of the entire Rigveda. The seer Samvanana ('the unifier') Angirasa addresses the assembly of people, exhorting them to live and act as one. After thousands of verses to Agni, Indra, the Maruts and the cosmic powers, the Veda ends on a profoundly human note — a call to unity, mutual understanding and concord, holding up the harmony of the gods as the model for human society.
✦ As told in scripture
Tradition holds that wherever this hymn is recited with sincerity by a gathering, quarrels subside and a spirit of fellowship arises; for this reason it is invoked to reconcile divided families and communities and to bless assemblies, parliaments and councils with one accord.
