Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.30
विश्वे देवा वसवो रक्षतेमम् उतादित्या जागृत यूयम् अस्मिन् । मेमं सनाभिर् उत वान्यनाभिर् मेमं प्रापत् पौरुषेयो वधो यः ॥१॥
viśve devā vasavo rakṣatemam utādityā jāgṛta yūyam asmin | memaṃ sanābhir uta vānyanābhir memaṃ prāpat pauruṣeyo vadho yaḥ ||1||
O all ye gods, ye Vasus, protect this man; likewise ye Ādityas, watch ye over him; him let not one related (sánābhi) nor one unrelated—him let not any deadly weapon of men (pāúruṣeya) reach.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ये वो देवाः पितरो ये च पुत्राः सचेतसो मे शृणुतेदम् उक्तम् । सर्वेभ्यो वः परि ददाम्य् एतं स्वस्त्य् एनं जरसे वहाथ ॥२॥
ye vo devāḥ pitaro ye ca putrāḥ sacetaso me śṛṇutedam uktam | sarvebhyo vaḥ pari dadāmy etaṃ svasty enaṃ jarase vahātha ||2||
Whoso of you, O gods, are fathers and who sons, do ye, accordant (sácetas), hear this utterance of mine; to you all I commit this man; happily unto old age shall ye carry him.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ये देवा दिवि ष्ठ ये पृथिव्यां ये अन्तरिक्ष ओषधीषु पशुष्व् अप्स्व् अन्तः । ते कृणुत जरसम् आयुर् अस्मै शतम् अन्यान् परि वृणक्तु मृत्यून् ॥३॥
ye devā divi ṣṭha ye pṛthivyāṃ ye antarikṣa oṣadhīṣu paśuṣv apsv antaḥ | te kṛṇuta jarasam āyur asmai śatam anyān pari vṛṇaktu mṛtyūn ||3||
Ye, O gods, that are in the heaven, that are on earth, that are in the atmosphere, in the herbs, in the cattle, within the waters—do ye make old age the length of life for this man; let him avoid the hundred other deaths.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
येषां प्रयाजा उत वानुयाजा हुतभागा अहुतादश् च देवाः । येषां वः पञ्च प्रदिशो विभक्तास् तान् वो अस्मै सत्रसदः कृणोमि ॥४॥
yeṣāṃ prayājā uta vānuyājā hutabhāgā ahutādaś ca devāḥ | yeṣāṃ vaḥ pañca pradiśo vibhaktās tān vo asmai satrasadaḥ kṛṇomi ||4||
Whose are the fore-offerings and whose the after-offerings; the gods that share the oblation and that eat what is not made oblation of; you among whom the five directions are shared out—you do I make sitters at the session (sattrá-) of this man.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
