Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.8
इदं हविर् यातुधानान् नादी फेनम् इवा वहत् । य इदं स्त्री पुमान् अकर् इह स स्तुवतां जनः ॥१॥
idaṃ havir yātudhānān nādī phenam ivā vahat | ya idaṃ strī pumān akar iha sa stuvatāṃ janaḥ ||1||
This oblation shall bring the sorcerers, as a stream does the foam; whoever, woman [or] man, hath done this, here let that person speak out.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अयं स्तुवान आगमद् इमं स्म प्रति हर्यत । बृहस्पते वशे लब्ध्वाग्नीषोमा वि विध्यतम् ॥२॥
ayaṃ stuvāna āgamad imaṃ sma prati haryata | bṛhaspate vaśe labdhvāgnīṣomā vi vidhyatam ||2||
This man hath come, speaking out; this man do ye welcome; O Brihaspati, taking [him] into thy control—O Agni and Soma, do ye (two) pierce [him] through.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यातुधानस्य सोमप जहि प्रजां नयस्व च । नि स्तुवानस्य पातय परम् अक्ष्य् उतावरम् ॥३॥
yātudhānasya somapa jahi prajāṃ nayasva ca | ni stuvānasya pātaya param akṣy utāvaram ||3||
Of the sorcerer, O soma-drinker, slay the progeny and conduct [him hither]; of him, speaking out, make fall out (nis-pat) the upper eye and the lower.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यत्रैषाम् अग्ने जनिमानि वेत्थ गुहा सताम् अत्त्रिणां जातवेदः । तांस् त्वं ब्रह्मणा वावृधानो जह्य् एषां शततर्हम् अग्ने ॥४॥
yatraiṣām agne janimāni vettha guhā satām attriṇāṃ jātavedaḥ | tāṃs tvaṃ brahmaṇā vāvṛdhāno jahy eṣāṃ śatatarham agne ||4||
Wherever, O Agni, thou knowest the births of them, of the devourers that are in secret, O Jātavedas, them do thou, increasing through worship (bráhman)—slay of them, O Agni, with hundredfold transfixion.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
