Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.20
अदारसृद् भवतु देव सोमास्मिन् यज्ञे मरुतो मृडता नः । मा नो विदद् अभिभा मो अशस्तिर् मा नो विदद् वृजिना द्वेष्या या ॥१॥
adārasṛd bhavatu deva somāsmin yajñe maruto mṛḍatā naḥ | mā no vidad abhibhā mo aśastir mā no vidad vṛjinā dveṣyā yā ||1||
Let there be the ádārasṛt, O god Soma; at this sacrifice, O Maruts, be gracious to us; let not a portent find us, nor an imprecation; let not the wrong that is hateful find us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यो अद्य सेन्यो वधो ऽघायूनाम् उदीरते । युवं तं मित्रावरुणाव् अस्मद् यावयतं परि ॥२॥
yo adya senyo vadho 'ghāyūnām udīrate | yuvaṃ taṃ mitrāvaruṇāv asmad yāvayataṃ pari ||2||
What missile (sénya) weapon of the malignant (aghāyú) shall go up today, do ye, Mitra-and-Varuṇa, keep that off from us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इतश् च यद् अमुतश् च यद् वधं वरुण यावय । वि महच् छर्म यछ वरीयो यावया वधम् ॥३॥
itaś ca yad amutaś ca yad vadhaṃ varuṇa yāvaya | vi mahac charma yacha varīyo yāvayā vadham ||3||
Both what [is] from here and what from yonder—keep off, O Varuṇa, the deadly weapon; extend great protection (çárman); keep very far off the deadly weapon.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शास इत्था महां अस्य् अमित्रसाहो अस्तृतः । न यस्य हन्यते सखा न जीयते कदा चन ॥४॥
śāsa itthā mahāṃ asy amitrasāho astṛtaḥ | na yasya hanyate sakhā na jīyate kadā cana ||4||
Verily a great ruler (çāsá) art thou, overpowerer of enemies, unsubdued, whose companion (sákhi) is not slain, is not scathed (jyā) at any time.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
