Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.24
सुपर्णो जातः प्रथमस् तस्य त्वं पित्तम् आसिथ । तद् आसुरी युधा जिता रूपं चक्रे वनस्पतीन् ॥१॥
suparṇo jātaḥ prathamas tasya tvaṃ pittam āsitha | tad āsurī yudhā jitā rūpaṃ cakre vanaspatīn ||1||
The eagle (suparṇá) was born first; of it thou wast the gall; then the Asura-woman, conquered by fight (yúdh), took shape as forest-trees.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
आसुरी चक्रे प्रथमेदं किलासभेषजम् इदं किलासनाशनम् । अनीनशत् किलासं सरूपाम् अकरत् त्वचम् ॥२॥
āsurī cakre prathamedaṃ kilāsabheṣajam idaṃ kilāsanāśanam | anīnaśat kilāsaṃ sarūpām akarat tvacam ||2||
The Asura-woman first made this remedy for leprous spot, this effacer of leprous spot; it has made the leprous spot disappear, has made the skin uniform (sárūpa).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
सरूपा नाम ते माता सरूपो नाम ते पिता । सरूपकृत् त्वम् ओषधे सा सरूपम् इदं कृधि ॥३॥
sarūpā nāma te mātā sarūpo nāma te pitā | sarūpakṛt tvam oṣadhe sā sarūpam idaṃ kṛdhi ||3||
Uniform by name is thy mother; uniform by name is thy father; uniform-making art thou, O herb; ⌊so⌋ do thou make this uniform.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
श्यामा सरूपंकरणी पृथिव्या अध्य् उद्भृता । इदम् ऊ षु प्र साधय पुना रूपाणि कल्पय ॥४॥
śyāmā sarūpaṃkaraṇī pṛthivyā adhy udbhṛtā | idam ū ṣu pra sādhaya punā rūpāṇi kalpaya ||4||
The swarthy, uniform-making one [is] brought up off the earth; do thou accomplish this, we pray; make the forms right again.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
