Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.8.13

AVŚ 10.8.13

प्रजापतिश् चरति गर्भे अन्तर् अदृश्यमानो बहुधा वि जायते । अर्धेन विश्वं भुवनं जजान यद् अस्यार्धं कतमः स केतुः ॥१३॥

prajāpatiś carati garbhe antar adṛśyamāno bahudhā vi jāyate | ardhena viśvaṃ bhuvanaṃ jajāna yad asyārdhaṃ katamaḥ sa ketuḥ ||13||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Prajāpati goes about (car) within the womb; not being seen, he is manifoldly born (vi-jā); with a half he has generated all existence; what his [other] half is—which sign is that?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
