Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 1.18.1

AVŚ 1.18.1

निर् लक्ष्म्यं ललाम्यं निर् अरातिं सुवामसि । अथ या भद्रा तानि नः प्रजाया अरातिं नयामसि ॥१॥

nir lakṣmyaṃ lalāmyaṃ nir arātiṃ suvāmasi | atha yā bhadrā tāni naḥ prajāyā arātiṃ nayāmasi ||1||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Out we drive (nir-sū) the pallid sign, out the niggard; then, whatever things are excellent (bhadrá), those we lead together (?) for our progeny.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
