Which vedic mantras should one chant for a better love life? I specifically was looking for a mantra which can help one to meet a new quality partner as well as a citation to the original passage in the rig veda where it is mentioned
There are a lot of kamadev mantras I am finding on the internet but they all lack proper citation to vedas and there are different variations
In the two reviews of the Atharva Veda, there are three incantations for the Lord Kama. If you just need a short mantra, but according to the Vedic model, without tantric influences (without additional bijas, with the exact Vedic name of this God), then this will be: OM kA mA ya na maH
dhyānu prathama juga makhabidhi dūjēṃ. dvāpara paritōṣata prabhu pūjēṃ.. kali kēvala mala mūla malīnā. pāpa payōnidhi jana mana mīnā..
In the first age, contemplation; in the second age, sacrifice; in the Dvāpara age the Lord is propitiated through worship. This age of Kali, however, is simply corrupt and the root of all impurities, where the mind of man wallows like a fish in the ocean of sin.
nāma kāmataru kāla karālā. sumirata samana sakala jaga jālā.. rāma nāma kali abhimata dātā
In this terrible age the Name alone is the wish-yielding tree, the very thought of which puts an end to all the illusions of the world. The Name ‘ Rāma ’ is the bestower of one's desired object in this age of Kali.
Yes there is one. In Atharvaveda 6:82.
आगछत आगतस्य नाम गृह्णाम्यायतः । इन्द्रस्य वृत्रघ्नो वन्वे वासवस्य शतक्रतोः ॥१॥
येन सूर्यां सावित्रीमश्विनोहतुः पथा । तेन मामब्रवीद्भगो जयामा वहतादिति ॥२॥
यस्तेऽङ्कुशो वसुदानो बृहन्न् इन्द्र हिरण्ययः । तेना जनियते जायां मह्यं धेहि शचीपते ॥३॥
This is for a suitable wife. For a better husband Atharvaveda 2:36 is suitable.
आ नो अग्ने सुमतिं संभलो गमेदिमां कुमारीं सह नो भगेन । जुष्टा वरेषु समनेषु वल्गुरोषं पत्या सौभगमस्तु अस्यै ॥१॥ सोमजुष्टं ब्रह्मजुष्टमर्यम्ना संभृतं भगम् । धातुर्देवस्य सत्येन कृणोमि पतिवेदनम् ॥२॥ इयमग्ने नारी पतिं विदेष्ट सोमो हि राजा सुभगां कृणोति । सुवाना पुत्रान् महिषी भवाति गत्वा पतिं सुभगा वि राजतु ॥३॥ यथाखरो मघवंश्चारुरेष प्रियो मृगाणां सुषदा बभूव । एवा भगस्य जुष्टेयमस्तु नारी संप्रिया पत्याविराधयन्ती ॥४॥ भगस्य नावमा रोह पूर्णामनुपदस्वतीम् । तयोपप्रतारय यो वरः प्रतिकाम्यः ॥५॥ आ क्रन्दय धनपते वरमामनसं कृणु । सर्वं प्रदक्षिणं कृणु यो वरः प्रतिकाम्यः ॥६॥ इदं हिरण्यं गुल्गुल्वयमौक्षो अथो भगः । एते पतिभ्यस्त्वामदुः प्रतिकामाय वेत्तवे ॥७॥ आ ते नयतु सविता नयतु पतिर्यः प्रतिकाम्यः । त्वमस्यै धेह्योषधे ॥८॥
