Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.17
अमूर् या यन्ति योषितो हिरा लोहितवाससः । अभ्रातर इव जामयस् तिष्ठन्तु हतवर्चसः ॥१॥
amūr yā yanti yoṣito hirā lohitavāsasaḥ | abhrātara iva jāmayas tiṣṭhantu hatavarcasaḥ ||1||
Yon women (yoṣít) that go, veins with red garments, like brotherless sisters (jāmí)—let them stop (sthā), with their splendor smitten.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
तिष्ठावरे तिष्ठ पर उत त्वं तिष्ठ मध्यमे । कनिष्ठिका च तिष्ठति तिष्ठाद् इद् धमनिर् मही ॥२॥
tiṣṭhāvare tiṣṭha para uta tvaṃ tiṣṭha madhyame | kaniṣṭhikā ca tiṣṭhati tiṣṭhād id dhamanir mahī ||2||
Stop, lower one! stop, upper one! do thou too stop, midmost one! if the smallest stops, shall stop forsooth the great tube (dhamáni).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शतस्य धमनीनां सहस्रस्य हिराणाम् । अस्थुर् इन् मध्यमा इमाः साकम् अन्ता अरंसत ॥३॥
śatasya dhamanīnāṃ sahasrasya hirāṇām | asthur in madhyamā imāḥ sākam antā araṃsata ||3||
Of the hundred tubes, of the thousand veins, have stopped forsooth these midmost ones; the ends have rested (ram) together.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
परि वः सिकतावती धनूर् बृहत्य् अक्रमीत् । तिष्ठतेलयता सु कम् ॥४॥
pari vaḥ sikatāvatī dhanūr bṛhaty akramīt | tiṣṭhatelayatā su kam ||4||
About you hath gone (kram) a great gravelly sandbank (dhanū́); stop [and] be quiet, I pray (sú kam).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
