Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Cosmic ordainer and disposer deity, also named as Vidhātā, invoked for wealth and sovereignty.
May Dhātṛ, Mitra, Varuṇa, divine Agni, Indra, and Tvaṣṭṛ accept my words.
May Dhātā, the lord, the master of the universe, bestow wealth upon us — may he grant it to us in full measure.
Dhātā, Vidhātā, the supreme Saṃdṛk, Prajāpati, Parameṣṭhin, Virāṭ — the stoma-hymns, the meters, the nivid-formulas speak thus to me:
Rigveda
A deity of ordination/establishment invoked for wealth.
may Dhātṛ, the victorious, grant wealth accompanied by heroes.
May Dhātṛ be auspicious to us;
may Dhātṛ grant the inexhaustible wealth of those who sit at ease — may we conquer now with the allied gods.
