Paryaaptyaa anatharaayaaya sarvastome atiraatr uttamamaharbhavati
Sarvasyaaptyai sarvasya jityai sarvamev tenaapnoti sarvam jayati
Meaning
The great Atiratra Yajna which is praised everywhere is eminently suitable to gain immense and limitless wealth and fame
Thereby we get everything we wish
Thereby we would get victory over all
Thereby we come by all bountiful wealth
Thereby we conquer everything.
(This Vedic mantra found in Vishnu Suktham and Taittireeya Brahmanam is used as an Aseervatha mantram to bless all with wealth and victory.. Even though it refers to Atiratra and Soma the mantram is used a general Aseervatham)

taittirīyabrāhmaṇe 3-1-2-1
A very important Asheervada Mantram
Meaning
------------
May we ever remain with ever increasing prosperity and splendour by offering havis or cooked grain and humble prostrations to Mitra ( one of the Deities representing the Sun).
May all the splendour and grace that are to be provided to us by Mitra be with us through such offerings.
May we nourish with offerings of havis the constellation of Anooraadhaas ( the anizham star) which is the happy abode of Mitra..
May we live for hundred autums in the happy company of valorous sons, attendants and other friends and relatives ..
----------------
( This mantra is also the vedic invocation for the Star Anuradha or Anizham..
नवो-नवो भवति जायमानो.अह्नां केतुरुषसामेत्यग्रम |
भागं देवेभ्यो वि दधात्यायन प्र चन्द्रमास्तिरतेदीर्घमायुः ||
navo navo bhavati jaayamano ahnaam keturushasaametyagram
bhaagam devebhya vi dadhaatyaayan pra chandramastirati deerghamaayuH.
The moon, by adding some portion to it in the waxing fortnight and reducing some portion to it in the waning portion of the next fortnight is born as a new one every day..
And through such birth every day he is the harbinger of every fresh morning..
He disappears at dawn every morning brings in a new day..
And the periodic offerings of Havis to gods in appropriate parts are determined by the appearance of the moon as a new one every day (the yajnas are determined by the tithis.. which are governed by the phases of the moon)..
Such moon the controller of days and seasons may bless us with long life..

ṛgvedaṁ 5-25
Another great Aseervatha mantram... taken from sooktha 25 of the fifth Mandalam of Rigvedam
Meaning
=========
May Agni bless the Yajamana who offers havis (cooked grain) to the fire,
with a son
Who is always endowed fully with sources for food.. rice
Who is learned and is praised by all with so many eulogies or stotras
Who is noble among the noblest
Who cannot be injured or overcome by the enemies
Who makes forefathers and guardians famous with his own actions that are praised by all 4
May Agni bless the Yajamana with a son
who is the protector of all good and noble people
who would gather his own followers and men and would win over the enemies decisively
who is very fast and nimble in his physical actions,
who would be the victor over all enemies
and
who would never face defeat from anyone..5
============
The above two aseervatha mantrams are with wishes for being blessed with good, active, and noble sons.. Sons with knowledge, valour and health..
When Vedas talk about sons.. we can assume that daughters too are included..
So I do not welcome any gender based remarks on this issue..
यशस्करं बलवन्तं प्रभुत्वं तमेव राजाधिपतिर्बभूव।
संकीर्णनागश्वपतिर्नराणां सुमङ्गल्यं सततं दीर्घमायुः॥

yaśaskaraṁ balavantaṁ prabhutvaṁ tameva rājādhipatirbabhūva|
saṁkīrṇanāgaśvapatirnarāṇāṁ sumaṅgalyaṁ satataṁ dīrghamāyuḥ||
ṛgveda khile sarpasūktād
The mantram is an aseervatham.. found in Rigveda Khilam.. and is found as a part of Sarpasooktham
The performer of sacrifice is blessed that he may become famous, he may become very strong, he may have all the authority, he may become the best among the kings, he would become as strong as the lord of Snakes, the Naga, and also as great as the conqueror of snakes.. Garuda Himself, he may be attain all that is worth and graceful.. soumangalyam.. and he may be blessed with a life span of hundred years..
शतमानं भवति शतायुः पुरुषः शतेन्द्रियः आयुष्येवेन्द्रिये प्रतितिष्ठति॥
कृष्णयजुर्वेदीये तैत्तिरिय ब्राह्मणे १-३-७-७
śatamānaṁ bhavati śatāyuḥ puruṣaḥ śatendriyaḥ āyuṣyevendriye pratitiṣṭhati||
kṛṣṇayajurvedīye taittirieeya brāhmaṇe 1-3-7-7
shatamaanam bhavati shataayuH purushaH shatendriyaH aayushyevendriye pratitishtati
This vedic mantram found in the Krishna Yajurvedam is the universal benediction given by the vedas.. for the health, wealth and longevity of the one who is blessed..
In every spiritual session involving vedic rites, this Asheervadam is invariably used..
================
The blessing is that the Man ( includes woman) should live with hundredfold glorious possessions , for hundred full years with his hundred organs all in full strength and vigour
=================
Shatamanam is defined by Sayanacharya as possessor of five Panam.. One manam is one twentieth of a Panam.. and hundred manams is five panams.. But what exactly was the currency or gold equivalent for Panam is not really known definitely.. In some calculations Panam can come as 0.92 grams of silver, and in other cases it can mean many sovereigns of gold.. Anyway, possession of five panams was a great achievement in Vedic time according to Sayanacharya.. Without going into the units, the benediction can be taken as wish for all to have immense wealth.
The full life span of human being is considered to be hundred years long..
There are five jnanendriyas and five karmendriyas... so there are ten indriyas and each indriya has ten Nadis according to Sayanacharya.. So when the blessing for hundred steady limbs or Indriyas is accounted for .

ഇമാം ത്വമിന്ദ്ര മീഢ്വഃ സുപുത്രാം സുഭഗം കൃണു।
ദശാസ്യാം പുത്രാനാ ധേഹി പതിമേകാദശം കൃധി॥
അഗ്നിസ്തുവിശ്രവസ്തമം തുവിബ്രഹ്മാണമുത്തമം।
അതൂര്ത്തം ശ്രാവയസ്പതിം പുത്രം ദദാതി ദാശുഷേ॥
അഗ്നിര്ദദാതി സത്പതിം സാസാഹ യോ യുധാ നൃഭിഃ।
അഗ്നിരത്യം രഘുഷ്യദം ജേതാരമപരാജിതം॥
യശസ്കരം ബലവന്തം പ്രഭുത്വം തമേവ രാജാധിപതിര്ബഭൂവ।
സംകീര്ണനാഗശ്വപതിര്നരാണാം സുമങ്ഗല്യം സതതം ദീര്ഘമായുഃ॥
ഋഗ്വേദ ഖിലേ സര്പസൂക്താദ്
ശതമാനം ഭവതി ശതായുഃ പുരുഷഃ ശതേന്ദ്രിയഃ ആയുഷ്യേവേന്ദ്രിയേ പ്രതിതിഷ്ഠതി॥
