Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.4
अम्बयो यन्त्य् अध्वभिर् जामयो अध्वरीयताम् । पृञ्चतीर् मधुना पयः ॥१॥
ambayo yanty adhvabhir jāmayo adhvarīyatām | pṛñcatīr madhunā payaḥ ||1||
The mothers go on their ways, sisters of them that make sacrifice, mixing milk with honey.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अमूर् या उप सूर्ये याभिर् वा सूर्यः सह । ता नो हिन्वन्त्व् अध्वरम् ॥२॥
amūr yā upa sūrye yābhir vā sūryaḥ saha | tā no hinvantv adhvaram ||2||
They who are yonder at the sun, or together with whom is the sun—let them further our sacrifice.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अपो देवीर् उप ह्वये यत्र गावः पिबन्ति नः । सिन्धुभ्यः कर्त्वं हविः ॥३॥
apo devīr upa hvaye yatra gāvaḥ pibanti naḥ | sindhubhyaḥ kartvaṃ haviḥ ||3||
The heavenly waters I call on, where our kine drink; to the rivers (síndhu) is to be made oblation.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अप्स्व् अन्तर् अमृतम् अप्सु भेषजम् । अपाम् उत प्रशस्तिभिर् अश्वा भवथ वाजिनो गावो भवथ वाजिनीः ॥४॥
apsv antar amṛtam apsu bheṣajam | apām uta praśastibhir aśvā bhavatha vājino gāvo bhavatha vājinīḥ ||4||
Within the waters is ambrosia (amṛ́ta), in the waters is remedy; and by the praises (práçasti) of the waters ye become vigorous (vājín) horses, ye become vigorous kine.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
